| 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! |
