Shine on you crazy diamond.

Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

-Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here 1975

Memories from a Shore

Well, after I ate I went outside

to catch some air

And to walk off my drink

And I rolled tabbacco

And watched as the smoke rolled

And magically like you left me.

And I made a firm fist and,

Pissed, thought it brilliant

To throw my hand into the door.

I knew I would have to
Admit that I was wrong

I decided to talk no more.

No, What an embarrassing way to go.

If you wrote a list

Of the times I considered

To swim in my heavenly home

And God and His angels

Are all under water

And callin' my name once for all

Oh and I had this hat

That I lost in September

I miss you less than that, you know.

Oh how can a man

Seek revenge on a woman

He wants to believe has no soul

No home.

No,

What an embarrassing way to go.

- Right Away, Great Captain!
