Lyrics
Late afternoon, dreaming hotel
We just had the quarrel that sent you away
I was looking for you, oh-oh
And you are gone, gone
Called you on the phone
Jenny, no answer
She never returned
Oh, you know what I mean, man
I went looking for you, oh-oh
And you are 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
Women was singing, a girl was washed up
On Redondo Beach, and everyone was so sad
I was looking for you, oh-oh
And you are gone, gone
Only girl, everyone cried
She was the victim of sweet suicide
I went looking for you, oh-oh
And you are gone, gone
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
Late afternoon, trimming her toes
I could feel in, but I heard the words
I was looking for you, oh-oh
Where have you gone, gone?
Desk clerk told me the total description
Girl called Jenny with apple blonde hair, now
She was small, an angel
When she gone, gone
Picked up my key, didn't reply
Went to my room, started to crying
You were small, an angel
And you are 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 never return into my arms 'cause you were gone, gone
You never return into my arms 'cause you were gone, gone
Gone, gone
Gone, gone
Goodbye, Jenny
