Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-8) 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!



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!
