Maggie and many other Colin Hay songs including: I just don't think I'll ever get over you & waiting for my real life to begin
are all based on this tragic event in Colins life when he found out that his first real love
(whom he never got over) had died. The line from Maggie: "hey darlin boy, don't you cry for me, I am forever your now that I am free"
and the line from Waiting for my Real Life to Begin: "I already have a plan, i'm waiting for my real life to begin" are both written about the note that Maggie left him after she committed suicide. I just don't think I'll ever get over you is also written about Maggie, in my views the most beautiful and powerful song ever written.
