  • 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 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

    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
