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 faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger,you legend,youmartyr,
and shine!.
You reached for the secret too soon
And 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 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 prisioner,
and shine!
