Shine On You Crazy Diamond*
(Parts 1*2*3*4*5)
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the cross-fire of childhood and
stardom, blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for far away 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 cray diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamod
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!
(Pink Floyd: Gilmour, Waters, Wright, "Wish you were here", 1975)
Shine On You Crazy Diamond*
(Parts 6*7*8*9)
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,
and sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you baby-child, you winner and loser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine
(Pink Floyd: Gilmour, Waters, Wright, "Wish you were here", 1975)
