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!   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,   Sail on the steel breeze   Come on, you boy child,   You winner and loser,   Come on, you miner   For truth and delusion, and shine!
