מילים לשיר Watershed – Indigo Girls

Watershed
(Emily Saliers)
The gold and the rainbow, but ntohing panned out as I planned. Thought I knew my mind like the back of my hand,
Well I better learn how to swim
Twisted guardrail on the highway, broken glass on the cement.
And they say only milk and honey's gonna make your soul satisfied!
A ghost of someone's tragedy
How recklessly my time has been spent.
Cause the crossing is chilly and wide.
Well I better learn how to starve the emptiness
And they say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger!
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road
And feed the hunger.
You can stand there and agonize
Till your agony's your heaviest load.
You'll never fly as the crow files, get used to a country mile.
Every choice is worth your while.
When you're learning to face the path at your pace
Well 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.
Catch a breeze, take a spill You start at the top, go full circle round
Stepping on a crack, breaking up and looking back
But ending up where I started again makes me wanna stand still,
Every tree limb overhead just seems to sit and wait Until every step you tak becomes a twist of fate
