Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Remember when you were young?

You shone like the sun

Shine on you crazy diamond

[Verse 2]

Now there's a look in your eyes

Like black holes in the sky

Shine on you crazy diamond

[Verse 3]

You were caught in the crossfire

Of childhood and stardom

Blown on the steel breeze

Come on, you target for far away laughter

Come on, you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine

[Verse 4]

You reached for the secret too soon

You cried for the moon

Shine on you crazy diamond

[Verse 5]

Threatened by shadows at night

And exposed in the light

Shine on you crazy diamond (Shine on you crazy diamond)

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

Nobody knows where you are

How near or how far

Shine on you crazy diamond

[Verse 8]

Pile on many more layers

And I'll be joining you there

Shine on you crazy diamond

[Verse 9]

And we'll bask in the shadow

Of yesterday's triumph

Sail on the steel breeze

Come on, you boy child, you winner and loser

Come on, you miner for truth and delusion, and shine
