Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I–V) Songtext
von David Gilmour

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 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
