Colin Hay

When I first set eyes on you
First you beat me up then you kissed me too
Weââ?¬â?¢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 Iââ?¬â?¢d run
Oh Maggie, come to me tonight
I will wait up for you make sure youââ?¬â?¢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 Iââ?¬â?¢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 hadnââ?¬â?¢t heard from you in years
And then your mama called she couldnââ?¬â?¢t speak for tears
She said you left me a note
Inside my pocket burns with these words you wrote

Hey darling boy donââ?¬â?¢t you cry for me
I am forever yours and now that I am free
Weââ?¬â?¢ll be together throw stones into the sea
Thereââ?¬â?¢ll be no others then just you and me
I miss you
Maggieââ?¬â?¢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
Maggieââ?¬â?¢s gone
