Name: Dusty Sweetness
Duration: P00H03M28S
Description: This song title was one of those prompted phrases from the songwriting club I mentioned above. For me, the phrase conjured a sense of lost innocence. “When these old habits start to do themselves, I don’t enjoy them any more—far as I can tell.” Anne envisioned this one as a jazz trio piece, with Jim Hoke’s incredible flute touches.

Dusty sweetness, where’d you go?
Hidden places I don’t show?
Moody river, swollen tide
Overflowing on all sides

Wanna be better than I am now
A better man somehow
Wanna be better than I am now
I just can’t right now

Whiskey temptress making eyes
Now she comforts me most nights
Held forgiveness, heavy load
I can’t carry it no more

Wanna be better than I am now
A better man somehow
Wanna be better than I am now
I just can’t right now

When these old habits start to do themselves
I don’t enjoy them
Any more far as I can tell
Where is that good little boy I used to be?

Wanna be better, better, better
A better man somehow
Wanna be better, better, better
I just can’t right now
Have I forgotten how?
Dusty sweetness, where’d you go?
