The Crane Wives - I Ain't Done

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
And you expose my nightly wandering
You put me in the ground, I ain't done

I have all the time I need
(She leaves her sleeping spouse)
To repent my wicked deeds
(Where by 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
Still I never see you coming
For life I gamble 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
(Finds her sleeping with another)
Those who lay their love to sleep
(By morning there were no survivors)
Swear that they still hear me scream

I have all the time I need
(And when full moon beckons)
To repent my wicked deeds
(She relives the night that took her life)
Plant my guilty seed
(To suffer it in her eternal penance)
By the moonlight in the cemetery

I have all the time I need
(And when full moon beckons)
To repent my wicked deeds
(She relives the night that took her life)
Plant my guilty seed
(To suffer it in her eternal penance)
By the moonlight in the cemetery
