Watershed

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 glass 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

When you're learning to face the path at your pace every choice is worth your

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

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

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

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

so get used to a country mile

When you're learning to face

the path at your pace every

choice is worth your
