Nanci Griffith - Marilyn Monroe / Neon And Waltzes lyrics

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 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 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 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 I lived on DiMaggio time Hearts felled to paradise still rest in her eyes She was no fading light 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 I lived on DiMaggio time Hearts felled to paradise still rest in her eyes She was no fading light
