They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain. They set you on a treadmill And they made you change your name. And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind.

Elton John

Goodbye Norma Jean…
It seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind.
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in.
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.

Of Marilyn Monroe

Elton John

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind:
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall here
On England's greenest hills;
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will.

Elton John
