Shine On You Crazy DiamondRemember when you were young you shone like the sunShine on you crazy diamond Now there's a look in your eye like black holes in the sky Shine on you crazy diamond Your were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom And blown upon the steel breeze Come on you target for faraway laughter Come on you legend you stranger you martyr and shine You reached for the secret too soon you cried for the moon Shine on you crazy diamond Frightened by shadows at night, exposed in the light Shine on you crazy diamond You wore out your welcome with random precision You rode upon 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 and how far Shine on you crazy diamond Pile on many more layers I'll be joining you there Shine on you crazy diamond And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterdays triumph We'll sail upon the steel breeze Come on you boy child you winner and loser Come on you miner of truth and delusion and shine |
