Indigo Girls - Watershed lyrics

Thought I knew my mind like the back of my hand The gold and the rainbow and nothing panned out as I planned They say only milk and honey's gonna make your soul satisfied I better learn how to swim cause the crossing is chilly and wide Twisted guardrails on the highway broken gla** on the cement The ghost of someone's tragedy how recklessly my time has been spent And they say that it's never too late but you don't, you don't get any younger I better learn how to starve the emptiness and feed the hunger 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 while And there's always retrospect to light a clearer path Every five years or so I look back on my life and I have a good laugh You start at the top, go full circle round catch a breeze take a spin But ending up where I started again makes me want to stand still 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 while Stepping on a crack breaking up and looking back Every tree limb overhead just seems to sit anyway 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 so get used to a country mile while 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 so get used to a country mile while
