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 crossfire
|
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,
|
Sail on the steel breeze
|
Come on, you boy child,
|
You winner and loser,
|
Come on, you miner
|
For truth and delusion, and shine!
|
