This song was written 14 March 2007.

In the Dust

Times were rough
And you would always be there
Whenever I needed you
I could always call out your name

I never thought
That I would ever leave you
But everything got better
And I left never looking back

I left you behind in the dust
And when I came back to sweep it up
I only found your footprints

I never knew anything
Besides your loving arms
And when opportunity knocked
I jumped on the first flight
I forgot what you meant to me
When I turned into the wind

Looking back
I forgot what really mattered
And you were all I had
I left you behind in the dark

But you left
I thought I could call your name
And you would be with me
I'm sure you were sick of waiting

I left you behind in the dust
And when I came back to sweep it up
I only found your footprints

I never knew anything
Besides your loving arms
And when opportunity knocked
I jumped on the first flight
I forgot what you meant to me
When I turned into the wind

Now I see
What I didn't mean to do
Is now over and done
And you are never coming back

I never knew anything
Besides your loving arms
And when opportunity knocked
I jumped on the first flight
I forgot what you meant to me
When I turned into the wind

I never knew anything
Besides your loving arms
And when opportunity knocked
I jumped on the first flight
I forgot what you meant to me
When I turned into the wind

I wrote this after I had a really bad day and felt like I had let all my friends down. I got through it and I even got a great song out of it!
