Shine on, you crazy diamond

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 crossfire
of childhood stardom
rolled on the steel breeze

Come on you target
for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger,
you legend, you martyr, and shine!


Roger Keith (Syd) Barrett
1946-2006
