Shine on you crazy

l was listening to echos by pink floyd and especially the words to the song shine on you crazy Diamond

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
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!.......
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
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!


as well as hope it sings to me off lost potential and drug misuse.
you know what they can mean so many different things
Lrics are just worth being here to reflect upon.. a kinda modern Psalm.
next time l play a gig may find some place to have this on the playlist
the only other Pink Floyd song l have played at a gig is Money.
l can recall in the mid 70`s that being used in a service at Cott rd church?

Love so much more in need of being Loved.

Something's just to heard to discuss, at such times encouraged to examine words from old book. Love God. Love one another. Follow Jesus.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
