The Shrew Lyrics

Cover art for The Shrew lyrics by Beirut

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."

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
