The First Stone - David Gray

Lyrics by：David Gray

Produced by：David Gray/Ben De Vries

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?
