My husband loves Pink Floyd, to him the band, their lyrics speak to him, as they do for millions of fans across the world. I have a affinity for a few of their songs, especially Shine on You Crazy Diamond. We were so lucky to have his soul sing to us for as long as we did, God Bless him on his journey and bless his family. My thoughts are with them and all the fans who are missing such a wonderful talented man.

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!
