Maggie

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 then 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 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 and now that I am free

We'll be together throw stones into the sea

There'll be no others then 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

But I will walk with you to places I never have been

Maggie's gone
