Morrissey - Redondo Beach lyrics

(Patti Smith cover)

Let it be known

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

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

Desk clerk told me

A girl is washed up

Was small, an angel

With apple blond 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 though

The hearse pulled away

And the girl that had died it was you

You'll never return

Into my arms

You'll never return

Into my arms

You'll never return

Into my arms

'Cause you're gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone
