Remember when 

you were young

,
            
You shone like

     
 the sun.
      
Shine on you c

  
razy diamond.

Now there's a 

look in your e

yes,
            
Like black hol

          
es in the sky.


[Chorus]
      
Shine on you c

  
razy diamond.
         
You were caugh

t in the cross

fire
   
Of childhood a

nd stardom,
         
Blown on the s

     
teel breeze.
            
Come on you ta

         
rget for faraw

ay laughter,
          
Come on you st

            
ranger, you le

            
gend, you mart

        
yr, and shine!


            


[Verse]
    
You reached fo

r the secret t

oo soon,
            
You cried for 

    
the moon.
      
Shine on you c

  
razy diamond.

Threatened by 

shadows at nig

ht,
            
And exposed in

     
 the light.


[Chorus]
      
Shine on you c

  
razy diamond.
         
Well you wore 

out your welco

me
    
With random pr

ecission,
         
Rode on the st

    
eel breeze.
            
Come on you ra

         
ver, you seer 

of visions,
          
Come on you pa

            
inter, you pip

            
er, you prison

       
er and shine!

Provided with

And you didn't

And you know you're nobody's fool.

         
So welcome to

You dreamed of

 a big star.
