Verse:
When I first set eyes on you
First you beat me up, then you kissed me too
We'd throw stone into the sea
There were no others there, just you and me
I crossed the bridge and down the lane
I knew I loved you then, you said you did the same
Chorus:
Oh Maggie, what have you done?
I should've seen it coming, and to your side 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 seventeen
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
Chorus:
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
they'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
