Beirut – The Shrew Lyrics 12 years ago
Actually, after listening further, I think the correct lyrics are as follows:

She wasn't ever obliged
To lift me a buckle or rise
And once her eyes covered with flies
The pain she no longer disguised
Windows alight where I rest inside
Never to ignite
There was once a time we sighed
It holds each morning light
'Til the market left her eye
How long she's been by my side
Let her rest, the stable's retired

I don't think it's "Windows that I'm / terrorized in time," to me it sounds more like, "Windows alight / where I rest inside."
