I Have Not Seen the Light - Justin Rutledge

I have not seen the light

But I have cursed the day

Speechless as the sun

Shapeless as the clay

I have not called to God

In my hour of need

The minutes spin around

The gingham on her knees

I have not seen three ships

Passing in the night

Like hands across her hips

I have not seen the light

I have not broken down

I have not been betrayed

I have not said a word

I have not been afraid

I have not learned to crawl

I have not learned to die

Are hands upon the plough

Under someone else's sky

I have not seen three ships

Their sails all grey and white

With voices on their lips

I have not seen the light

I have not seen three ships

Their sirens on the sea

Wreathed in red and brown

They do not sing for me

I have not lost my way

I have not lost my sight

I'm staring down the sun

I have not seen the light

I have not seen the light
