Patti Smith
Redondo Beach
[Verse 1]
Let it be known, a dreaming hotel
We just had the quarrel that sent you away
I was looking for you, are you gone, gone?
Called you on the phone, but there was no answer
Well, you never returned, will you never want me?
I was looking for you, are you gone, gone?

[Chorus]
Down by the ocean it was so dismal
Women all standing with shock on their faces
Sad description, oh I was looking for you

[Verse 2]
Everyone was singing, a girl is washed up
On Redondo Beach and everyone is so sad
I was looking for you, are you gone, gone?
Hey little girl, everyone cried
She was the victim of suicide
I was looking for you, are you gone, gone?

[Chorus]
Down by the ocean it was so dismal
Women all standing with shock on their faces
Sad description, oh I was looking for you
[Verse 3]
The desk clerk told me a girl is washed up
A smallen angel with apple blonde hair, now
I was looking for you, are you gone, gone?
Picked up my key, and I didn't reply
I just went into my room, and started to cry
It was morning, angel, are you gone, gone?

[Chorus]
Down by the ocean it was so dismal
I was just standing with shock on my face
The hearse pulled away, and the girl that had died, it was you
You'll never return into my arms, never return into my arms
Never return into my arms 'cause you've gone, gone
Gone gone, gone gone, good-bye
