I Ain't Done

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 seed

(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, yeah

Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh

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
