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 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 rode out
your welcome
with random precision
rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver
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
I'll be joining
you there
Shine on you
crazy diamond
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....
