Shine On You Crazy Diamond Lyrics - Roger Waters

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 years 

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
