Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Late afternoon, dreamin' hotel

We just had the quarrel, sent you away

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

[Verse 2]

Call 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?

[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]

Everyone was singing, girl is washed up

On Redondo Beach, and everyone is so sad

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

[Verse 4]

Pretty little girl, everyone cried

She was the victim of sweet suicide

I went 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 just looking for you

[Verse 5]

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?

[Verse 6]

Pick up my key, didn't reply

Went to my room, started to cry

It was small, and 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

[Outro]

You will never return into my arms 'cause you are gone, gone

Never return into my arms 'cause you are gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone

Goodbye
