Marilyn Monroe/Neon And Waltzes — текст песни (Nanci Griffith)

The sun will stop shinin`
Hearts will stop poundin`
The screen is so lonely tonight
The men are out prayin`
The women are sayin`
She died for the loss of her prime
And lived on DiMaggio time

(chorus)
Farewell you old tinsel city
With your waltz in the mornin`
& your neon at night
I`ve bathed in your loneliness
Drank of your wine
I lived on DiMaggio time
Hearts felled to paradise still rest in her eyes
She was no fading light

Hot night in August
So Long to the Goddess
America`s fatherless child
Immortal`s forever
That Queen of the camera
The master of winkin` a smile
And leaving her shadow behind

(repeat chorus twice)
