Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 skies
Shine on you crazy diamond
[Verse 2]
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on, you target for far away laughter
Come on, you stranger, you legend, you martyr and shine
[Verse 3]
Reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
Exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
[Verse 4]
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
Written by: David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Roger Waters
