Justin Rutledge - I Have Not Seen The Light

I Have Not Seen The Light by Justin Rutledge, off of his 2010 album The Early Widows. Copyright held by Six Shooter Records.


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
