Watershed

Thought I knew my mind Like the back of my hand The gold and the rainbow But nothing panned out as I planned And they say only milk and honey's 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 glass on the cement A ghost of someone's tragedy How recklessly my time has been spent They say that it's never too late But you don't, you don't get any younger Well 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 When you're 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 Every five years or so I look back on my life And I have a good laugh You start at the top (Start at the top) Go full circle round Catch a breeze Take a spill But ending up where I started again Makes me wanna 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 When you're learning to face The path at your pace Every choice is worth your while Stepping on a crack 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 (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 When you're learning to face The path at your pace Every choice is worth your 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 Get used to a country mile When you're learning to face The path at your pace Every choice is worth your while And when you're learning to face The path at your pace Every choice is worth your while
