Shine On You Crazy Diamond


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
and sail on the steel breeze

come on you boy child
you winner and loser
come on you miner
for truth and delusion
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 loser
come on you miner
for truth and delusion
and shine!
