Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
|
Shine on you crazy diamond
|
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
|
Shine on you crazy diamond
|
You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom
|
blown on the steel breeze
|
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger
|
you legend, you martyr, and shine!
|
|
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
|
Shine on you crazy diamond
|
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
|
Shine on you crazy diamond
|
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
|
rode on the steel breeze
|
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter
|
you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
|
|
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far
|
Shine on you crazy diamond
|
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there
|
Shine on you crazy diamond
|
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
|
and sail on the steel breeze
|
Come on you boy child, you winner and looser
|
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!
|
