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 while
