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 in the cross-fire
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!
You reached for the secret too soon,
you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night,
and exposed to 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!
