Lyrics
The Shrew
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.
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 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
