Remember when you were young


You shine 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 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
