Indigo Girls F/ - Watershed lyrics

I knew my mind Like the back of my hand The gold and the rainbow But nothing panned out as I planned They say only milk and honey Is gonna make your soul satisfied Well, I better learn how to swim 'Cause the crossing is chilly and wide Twisted guardrails on the highway Broken gla** on the cements And there's a ghost of someone's tragedy How recklessly my time has been spent They say that it's never too late We don't, we don't get any younger I better learn how to starve this emptiness And feed my hunger Up on the watershed Standing at the fork in the road But you can stand there and agonize Till your agony's your heaviest load You'll never fly as the crow flies Get used to a country mile When you're learning to face Learning to face The path at your pace Every choice is worth your while And there's always retrospect When you're looking back To light a clearer path And every five days or so I look back on my life And I have a good laugh 'Cause you start at the top Start at the top You go full circle 'round Catch a breeze, take a spill Yeah, but ending up where I started again That makes me wanna stand still Up on the watershed Standing at the fork in the road But you can stand there and agonize Till your agony's your heaviest load You'll never fly as the crow flies Get used to a country mile When you're learning to face Learning to face The path at your pace Every choice is worth your while Stepping on a crack, yeah Breaking up and looking back Till every tree limb overhead Just seems to sit and wait Till every step you take Becomes a twist of fate Up on the watershed Standing at the fork in the road You can stand there and agonize Till your agony's your heaviest load You'll never fly as the crow flies Get used to a country mile Learning to face The path at your pace Every choice is worth your while When you're learning to face The path at your pace Every choice is worth your while
