Lyrics

When I first set eyes on you
 First you beat me up
 Then you kissed me too
 We'd throw stones into the sea
 There were no others there
 Just you and me
 Across the bridge and down the lane
 I knew I loved you then
 You said you did the same
 Oh Maggie, what have you done?
 I should have seen it coming
 Into your sight I'd run
 Oh Maggie, come to me tonight
 I will wait up for you
 Make sure you're alright
 I miss you
 ♪
 You taught me how to sink or swim
 When I was scared that day
 You just pushed me in
 And when nobody was around
 You let me kiss you then
 There the love I found
 I said I'd never let you go
 You just smiled at me
 How was I to know?
 Oh Maggie, what am I to do?
 How I can live with only memories of you?
 Oh Maggie, tell me the truth
 When your ship was sinking
 Did you think it through?
 I miss you
 ♪
 You were the fountain of my youth
 And when I fumbled
 You showed me what to do
 And when we were both 17
 You left me standing there
 But you were never mean
 And when I saw you out with him
 He looked much older
 And you looked very thin
 I hadn't heard from you in years
 And then your mama called
 She couldn't speak for tears
 She said you left me a note
 Inside my pocket burns
 With these words you wrote
 "Hey darling boy, don't you cry for me
 I am forever yours now that I am free
 We'll be together
 Throw stones into the sea
 There'll be no others there
 Just you and me"
 I miss you
 Maggie's gone
 ♪
 I think you came the other night
 You stroked my brow
 Your eyes were full of light
 May have only been a dream
 But I would walk with you
 To places, I never have been
 Maggie's gone
