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 in 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 years
|
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
|
|

Shine On You Crazy Diamond
