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
The words are from the song Shine On You Crazy Diamond, on the Wish You Were Here album. They were written about the original singer, songwriter, and guitarist of Pink Floyd- Syd Barret. Dan Flynn reports on his death at Flynnfiles.com.
