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
|
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
|
And 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 can I 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, darlin' 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
|
|
It may have only been a dream
|
When I will walk with you
|
To places I never have been
|
|
Maggie's gone
|
