I Ain't Done
By The Crane Wives

I am a pretty young thing
I am consumed with selfish wanting
Carelessly broke you down
But I ain't done.

Felt love's searing sting
You exposed my nightly wanderings
You put me in the ground
But I ain't done.

I have all the time I need
(She leaves her sleeping spouse)
To repent my wicked deeds
(Where in the dark she meets her lover)
Plant my guilty seeds
(A woman in love has no regrets)
By the moonlight in the cemetery

You're the shadow cast by me
And still I never see you coming
Gambled my life for love
But I ain't done

Violence forgiving steel
Wreckage in the wake of cruel betrayal
Paid my sins in blood
But I ain't done.

I have all the time I need
(He follows her into the night)
To repent my wicked deeds
(And finds her sleeping with another man)
Those who lay their love to sleep
(By morning there were no survivors)
Swear they still hear me scream

I have all the time I need
(When the full moon beckons)
To repent my wicked deeds
(She relives the night that took her life)
Plant my guilty seeds
(Her suffering is her eternal penance)
By the moonlight in the cemetery
