Story Behind The Song
It is about my frusteration with the way my life was going at the time. I seemed to have all these dreams that weren't comming true. Time just kept passing, and I became depressed, success seemed unatainable. I wrote the song, while in a Starbucks, in Myrtle Beach, SC. I think it is now a Barnes and Noble's Coffee Shop.

Lyrics
When dreams melt away
when your life becomes dirt
when memories do fade
all things as they were
two steps that bring tomorrow
are so far away
and the bird that carries
visits everyday
chorus-
Moon on the horizon
beginning of the end
all I had my eyes on
carried by the wind
I was hurt by indecision
I was broke by the cost
last night I was wish'n
I won but I lost
