- The Shrew LyricsShe 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 that I'm terrorized in time
Never to ignite
There was once a time beside
It holds each one in light
'Til the market left dry
How long she's been by my side
But at last, the stable's retired
To lift me a buckle or rise
And once her eyes covered with flies
The pain she no longer disguised
Windows that I'm terrorized in time
Never to ignite
It holds each one in light
'Til the market left dry
How long she's been by my side
But at last, the stable's retired
