Redondo Beach (The Place, Eugene, Oregon 9 May ’78) [Remastered] - Live

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.

Redondo Beach (The Place, Eugene, Oregon 9 mai 1978) [Remasterisé] - En direct

Tard dans l'après-midi, hôtel de rêve
On vient d'avoir la dispute qui t'a fait partir.
Je te cherchais, es-tu parti, parti ?
Je t'ai appelé au téléphone, une autre dimension.
Eh bien, tu n'es jamais revenu, oh, tu sais ce que je veux dire.
Je suis allée te chercher, es-tu parti, parti ?
Au bord de l'océan, c'était si triste,
Des femmes debout, le choc sur le visage.
Triste description, oh, je te cherchais.
Tout le monde chantait, la fille est échouée
Sur la plage de Redondo et tout le monde est si triste.
Je te cherchais, es-tu parti, parti ?
Une jolie petite fille, tout le monde a pleuré.
Elle était victime d'un doux suicide.
Je suis allée te chercher, es-tu parti, parti ?
Au bord de l'océan, c'était si triste,
Des femmes debout, le choc sur le visage.
Triste description, oh, je te cherchais.
Le réceptionniste m'a dit que la fille était échouée,
Petite, un ange aux cheveux blonds comme des pommes, maintenant.
Je suis allée te chercher, es-tu parti, parti ?
J'ai pris ma clé, je n'ai pas répondu.
Je suis allée dans ma chambre, j'ai commencé à pleurer.
Tu étais petite, un ange, es-tu parti, parti ?
Au bord de l'océan, c'était si triste.
J'étais juste debout, le choc sur mon visage.
Le corbillard est parti, et la fille qui était morte, c'était toi.
Tu ne reviendras jamais dans mes bras parce que tu es parti, parti.
Tu ne reviendras jamais dans mes bras parce que tu es parti, parti.
Parti, parti, parti, parti, au revoir.
