Watershed Anaïs Mitchell

[Verse 1]
Nobody gives you a map of the ridge
You climb one mountain and you find the next
You follow the river to the fountainhead
Watershed

[Verse 2]
The tallest summit you look up to
Someday it's gonna look small to you
There's a new one coming into view
And you'll climb that too but before you do

[Pre-Chorus]
You get time to stand looking off the ledge
Where the rivers branch to the east and the west
And to catch your breath at the sight of it
How the heights on which your heart was set
That you won so hard and then lost so fast
Are now somehow just silhouettes
You stop and bend in the light that's left
And you cup your hands in the riverbed

[Chorus]
Watershed, watershed
Watershed, watershed
Watershed, watershed
Watershed, watershed
