Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Syd Barrett
6 January 1946 – 7 July 2006
Oh, where are you now?
Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf
When I was alone
You promised a stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down treading the sand
Please, please lift a hand
I'm only a person whose armbands beat on his hands
Hang tall, won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?
-Syd Barrett
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 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!
-Roger Waters
