{sunday sounds} Lost in the Light | Bahamas
Even though Afie Jurvanen’s stage name is Bahama,
his mesmerizing, melancholy track, “Lost in the Light” is more
stark winterscape at Long Island Sound than palm trees and sunshine.
I’ve been lost in his hypnotic lyrics all afternoon. . .
“So if someone can see me now, let them see you.”
Long Island Sound | Horton Point Lighthouse
I’m lost in the light
I pray for the night
To take me, to take me too
After so many words
Still nothing’s heard
Don’t know what we should do
So if someone can see me now, let them see you
It was my greatest thrill
But we just stood still
You let me hold your hand ’til I had my fill
Even countin’ sheep
Don’t help me sleep
I just toss and turn right there beside you
So if someone could help me now, they’d help you too.
They’d help you to
See you through
All the hard things we’ve all gotta do
Cause this life is long
And so you wouldn’t be wrong
Bein’ free you and me on my own
And I held my own
Still I rattled your bones
I said some awful things and I take them back
If we would try again
Just remember when
Before we were lovers, I swear we were friends
So if someone could see me now let them see you
Let them see you
See you through
All the hard things we’ve all gotta do
Cause this life is long
So you wouldn’t be wrong
Bein’ free here with me on my own
