There's an emptiness sometimes at the end of the day,
When I just long to talk and to share.
It's not that I really have something to say;
It's more that I just want you there.

Maggie, O, Maggie, where have the years gone?
Maggie, if only we'd known;
Maggie, O, Maggie, you must feel it too,
That silence of standin' alone.

Sometimes in the winter when the snow's in the trees,
It feels like you're back at my side;
Your hand in my hand just watchin' the storm,
Contented and warm, satisfied.

Maggie, O, Maggie, where have the years gone?
Maggie, if only we'd known;
Maggie, yes, Maggie, you must feel it too,
That coldness of standin' alone.

And then in the fields with the spring come again,
I still feel you there on the farm;
Your spirit with me, plantin' in faith,
You holding on tight to my arm.

Maggie, O, Maggie, where have the years gone?
Maggie, if only we'd known;
Maggie, yes, Maggie, you must feel it too,
We're never quite ever alone.

Maggie, O, Maggie, you must know it too
We're together and yet we're alone.
