| 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! |
