t bone burnett - be careful of stones that you throw lyrics

Loading...

a neighbor passed by my garden one time
she stopped and i knew right away
that it was gossip, not flowers that she had on her mind
this is what i heard my neighbor say:

“that bad girl down the street should be run from our midst
she drinks and she talks quite a lot
she knows not to speak to my daughter or to me”
my neighbor then smiled, and i thought:

a tongue can accuse and carry bad news
the seeds of distrust it will sow
so unless you made no mistakes in your life
be careful of stones that you throw

a car speeded by and the screaming of brakes
a sound that made my blood chill
for my neighbor’s one child had been pulled from the path
saved by a girl lying still
“the child was unhurt,” my neighbor cried out
“oh, who was that brave girl so sweet?”
i covered the crushed broken body
and said, “that bad girl who lives down the street”

a tongue can accuse and carry bad news
the seeds of distrust it will sow
so, unless you made no mistakes in your life
be careful of stones that you throw
