Sometimes a Song
The first time I heard a song for Norma Jean
I was all of fourteen,the words were beyond
compare, sung by our man Sir Elton John.
No one truly knows you and take you at face value
Your beauty beyond compare, everyone wants to hold
you, but can never see your despair.
You change your name, you gain fame
You burn bright into the night
And go out with the flicker of a light.
The tears and fears to die young, a song sung
The loneliness of fame its all a game
Your legend lives on but your gone.
You’re a Superstar, inaccessible by far
Your reel life is not for real
Hounded now by the media
In death they stripped you of your dignity
A life lived in vain, they call out your name
But whose to blame a flame flickered out
A sad song, can never go wrong
Life is but a melody
A Candle in the Wind.
