The First Stone Songtext
von David Gray

You saw it in my face, I couldn′t hide it
Time made an open space, we stepped inside it
You saw the better part of me, I let it show through
I saw the sweeter part of you, don't ever want to
Be the one to throw the first stone?

We made a silent pact never to state it
Wisdom after the fact was overrated
You took the better part of me, folded it into
Into the sweeter part of you, who′d ever want to
Be the one to throw the first stone?


I thought I knew the rush, nothing prepared me
Boy, when it hit me flush, force of it scared me
I saw the sweeter part of you, what else could I do?
Gave you the beating heart in me
Why did you have to be the one to throw the first stone?

Unfolding in ways we can scarcely imagine
Unfolding in ways we can scarcely imagine

Every dumb thing exists gets our attention
The angel in our midst goes without mention
You took the better part of me, folded it into
Into the sweeter part of you, why did you have to
Be the one to throw the first stone?
