Remember when you were young, <br />You shone like the sun. <br />Shine on, you crazy diamond <br />Now there's a look in your eyes <br />Like black holes in the sky <br />Shine on, you crazy diamond <br /> <br />You were caught in the crossfire <br />Of childhood and stardom, <br />Blown on the steel breeze <br />Come on you target for faraway laughter, <br />Come on you stranger, you legend, <br />You martyr, and shine <br /> <br />You reached for the secret too soon <br />You cried for the moon <br />Shine on, you crazy diamond <br />Threatened by shadows at night <br />And exposed in the light <br />Shine on, you crazy diamond <br /> <br />Well, you wore out your welcome <br />With random precision <br />Rode on the steel breeze <br />Come on you raver, you seer of visions; <br />Come on you painter, you piper, <br />You prisoner, and shine <br /> <br />Album: <br />"Wish You Were Here", 1975
