♪Candle In The Wind 2009♪

Goodbye Wagoner
Though I never knew you at all
You had the debt to damn yourself
Where lives were torn apart
You forced out from your company
And you begged to those in pain
They set you on the bed od nails
And they made you leave your post

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never showing what to change to
When the money poured in
And your pension will be paid fully
About twenty million dollars
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did


Restructuring is tough
The toughest role you ever played
Detroit created a monster
And grace was two months you got
Even when you left
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Richard was left on pension

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never showing what to change to
When the money poured in
And your pension will be paid fully
About twenty million dollars
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did


Goodbye Wagoner
Though I never knew you at all
You had the debt to damn yourself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye Wagoner
From the company lost without your role
They'll need the plans of their restructuring
More than you'll ever know

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never showing what to change to
When the money poured in
And your pension will be paid fully
About twenty million dollars
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
