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
Maggie's gone
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 Maggie's gone Explain Request ×
