Shine on You Crazy Diamond I-V
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 on 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!
Shine on You Crazy Diamond VI-IX
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
sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child
you winner and loser
come on you miner
for truth and delusion, and shine ...
Wish You Were Here
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
