Redondo Beach - Patti Smith Group

Late afternoon, 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, another dimension

Well, you never returned, oh you know what I mean

I went looking for you, are you gone, gone?

Down by the ocean it was so dismal

Women all standing with a shock on their faces

Sad description, oh I was looking for you

Everyone was singing, girl is washed up

On Redondo Beach and everyone is so sad

I was looking for you, are you gone gone?

Pretty little girl, everyone cried

She was the victim of sweet suicide

I went looking for you, are you gone gone?

Down by the ocean it was so dismal

Women all standing with shock on their faces

Sad description, oh I was looking for you

Desk clerk told me girl was washed up

Was small, an angel with apple blonde hair, now

I went looking for you, are you gone gone?

Picked up my key, didn’t reply

Went to my room, started to cry

You were small, an angel, are you gone gone?

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 'cause you were gone gone

Never return into my arms 'cause you were gone gone

Gone gone, gone gone, good-bye
