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 cross fire 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. |
|
Treatened 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! |
