Indigo Girls F/ Watershed [Live] 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 glass 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
