Watershed Lyrics - Retrospective - Indigo Girls

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
