Nanci Griffith - Marilyn Monroe/Neon and Waltzes lyrics
[Nanci Griffith - Marilyn Monroe/Neon and Waltzes lyrics]
Sun will stop shinin' and
Hearts will stop poundin'
The screen is so lonely tonight
The men are out prayin' and
The women are sayin'
She died for the loss of her
Prime and lived on DiMaggio time
So farewell you old tinsel city
With your waltz in the mornin'
And your neon at night
I've bathed in your loneliness
Drank of your wine
And I lived on DiMaggio time
And hearts felled to paradise still
Rest in her eyes she was no fading light
Oh, hot night in August
So long to the goddess
America's fatherless child
Immortal's forever, the queen of the camera
The master of winkin' a smile
And leaving her shadow behind
So farewell you old tinsel city
With your waltz in the mornin'
And your neon at night
I've bathed in your loneliness
Drank of your wine
And I lived on DiMaggio time
Well, farewell you old tinsel city
With your waltz in the mornin'
And your neon at night
I've bathed in your loneliness
Drank of your wine
And I lived on DiMaggio time
Hearts will stop poundin'
The screen is so lonely tonight
The men are out prayin' and
The women are sayin'
She died for the loss of her
Prime and lived on DiMaggio time
So farewell you old tinsel city
With your waltz in the mornin'
And your neon at night
I've bathed in your loneliness
Drank of your wine
And I lived on DiMaggio time
And hearts felled to paradise still
Rest in her eyes she was no fading light
Oh, hot night in August
So long to the goddess
America's fatherless child
Immortal's forever, the queen of the camera
The master of winkin' a smile
And leaving her shadow behind
So farewell you old tinsel city
With your waltz in the mornin'
And your neon at night
I've bathed in your loneliness
Drank of your wine
And I lived on DiMaggio time
Well, farewell you old tinsel city
With your waltz in the mornin'
And your neon at night
I've bathed in your loneliness
Drank of your wine
And I lived on DiMaggio time
