I Ain't Done Lyrics - 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 

For life, I gambled 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) 

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
