Lyrics Vic Chesnutt

Vic Chesnutt

Splendid

In the pasture we run free

By the spring creek we lie down

In the pine thicket we are pricked

In the dry wash

We come across an incomplete set of bleached bones

Splendidly full of life

Wandering the countryside

Down the logging road we stray

In the orchard we feast

To the rocky ridge we persist

As the sun sets

We are enveloped by oddly energized orange light

Splendidly full of life

Wandering the countryside

On the beach we had fun

By the rocks in the sun

We were young we were free

We were wild as the weeds

Below cliffs

Surrounded by driftwood

We did everything we could

We did everything we

Everything we could
