Sung to the tune of Candle In The Wind by Elton John
--------
Goodbye Elphaba
Though I hardly knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
You crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into our brains
They set me on the treadmill
And in the end I changed my name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing where to run to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have loved you
Then I was just a kid
Your candle melted long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was hard
The hardest book you ever read
The Wizard created a villain
And you had to end up dead
Even when you died
Ozians still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that the Wicked Witch was through
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing where to run to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have loved you
Then I was just a kid
Your candle melted long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye Elphaba
Though I hardly knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Elphaba
From the young girl in the 22nd room
Who sees you as something as more than wicked
More than a witch upon her broom
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing where to run to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have loved you
Then I was just a kid
Your candle melted long before
Your legend ever did
