SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND
By Pink Floyd

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 on 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
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 your raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Nobody know 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!
