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. |
|
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! |
