...shine...

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...
