Redondo Beach
Words by Patti Smith, Music by Lennie Kaye and Richard Sohl

Let it be known
a dreaming hotel
we just had a quarrel
I sent you away
I was looking for you
Are you gone gone?

Called you on the phone
but there was no answer
will you never return?
will you never want me?
I was 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
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
How she was the victim of suicide
I was 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

The Desk clerk told me
a girl is washed up
a smiling 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 I started to cry
It was morning 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
never return into my arms
You'll never return into my arms
'cause you've gone gone
gone gone
gone gone
good-bye
