Shine On You Crazy Diamond (1 - 5) Songtext / Lyric

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 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.
