[Verse 1]
Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eye
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom
And blown upon the steel breeze
Come on, you target for faraway laughter
Come on, you stranger, you legend, you martyr
And shine

[Verse 2]
You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
Exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
You wore out your welcome
With random precision
You rode upon the steel breeze
Come on, you raver, you seer of visions
Come on, you painter, you piper, you prisoner
And shine
[Verse 3]
Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on layer upon layer
I'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday's triumph
We'll sail upon the steel breeze
Come on, you boy child, you winner and loser
Come on, you miner for truth and delusion
And shine
