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, 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!
