Patti Smith - Redondo Beach

Redondo Beach is a beach where women love other women

Late afternoon, dreaming hotel
We just had the quarrel that sent you away
I was looking for you
But you were gone gone?

Called you on the phone, another dimension
You never returned
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 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 went 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 is washed up
Was small and 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 and angel
Are you gone gone?

Down by the ocean, it was so dismal
I was just standing with shock on my face now
The hearse pulled away
The girl that had died, it was you
You'll never return into my arms
'Cause you are gone, gone
You'll never return into my arms
'Cause you are gone, gone

Gone, gone
Gone, gone
Goodbye

Thank you
