Maggie Lyrics - Going Somewhere - Colin Hay

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
