Candle In The Wind (elton John Cover) Lyrics - Singles - Ed Sheeran

Goodbye Norma Jean 

Though I never knew you at all 

You had the grace to hold yourself 

While those around you crawled 

They crawled out of the woodwork 

And they whispered into your brain 

They set you on the treadmill 

And they made you change your name 

 

And 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 

Your candle burned out long before 

Your legend ever did

NEW SONG: Ed Sheeran - 'BLOW' Lyrics ft. Chris Stapleton & Bruno Mars 

 

Loneliness was tough 

The toughest role you ever played 

Hollywood created a superstar 

And pain was the price you paid 

Even when you died 

Oh the press still hounded you 

All the papers had to say 

Was that Marilyn was found in the nude 

 

And 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 

Your candle burned out long before 

Your legend ever did 

 

Goodbye Norma Jean 

Though I never knew you at all 

You had the grace to hold yourself 

While those around you crawled 

Goodbye Norma Jean 

From the young man in the 22nd row 

Who sees you as something as more than sexual 

More than just our Marilyn Monroe 

 

And 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 

Your candle burned out long before 

Your legend ever did
