about

My friend Mark B. cued me into the Quaker idea of holding someone in the light. It seemed right in thinking of my mom after she died, as well as other friends and family. And it changed the way I look at light. (Minneapolis, MN—2006)

lyrics

Just last year at this time
You were here, I was fine.
We could talk in our way,
Though there was nothing you or I could say.

Now I know I’ll never see the light the same;
As I grow toward the night I will speak your name,
And I’ll hold you in the light.

I recall I would wait
At the window when you were late.
I would watch cars go by;
Then your headlights burned my bleary eyes.

Now I know I’ll never see the light the same;
As I grow toward the night I will speak your name,
And I’ll hold you in the light.

Something true, something bright
Showed in you all your life;
As a child I would fear
Life without you--now it’s here.

Now I know I’ll never see the light the same;
As I grow toward the night I will speak your name,
And I’ll hold you in the light.
Yes I’ll hold you in the light.

about

Tim Gustafson Moline, Illinois

I have been writing and playing Americana--sometimes bluesy, sometimes rockish, sometimes jazz-inflected folk--since before it was called "Americana." I don't know where songs come from, or how or why they emerge. But here they are. I hope you enjoy them. ... more
