Come bend your bow, shoot your arrow
Clouds will explode into rain
Birds are asleep down by the reeds
Rocked by the wind I see them breathe
In lonely fields I’ve been humming
Only the grass overhearing
The cat woke me up with his dreaming
In lonely fields I’ve been humming
Only the grass overhearing

The moon – the moon – the moon – the moon
The moon like a bell is swinging
I’ve got the ropes to make it ring
But as the clouds are fast asleep
I’ll just shake her gently
Moon be bright and shine

O check the scales, dog-headed ape
Look out!
The time has come to weigh my heart
Make me triumphant
Make me righteous
So no crocodile-lion can take away my heart
O you my heart be feather-light!

Everywhere at the end of time
by The Caretaker
supported by 16 fans who also own “The Weighing of the Heart”
I first listened through this a couple years ago, and I don't know why I hadn't bought it until now. Regardless, I think everyone should listen through this in its entirety at least once, the best way I can describe it is beautifully haunting. I'm sure my favorite track will keep changing forever, too.
