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
