He was gone, gone, gone into the blue Didn't take that long To disappear from view Left all his mates huddled in the pub To the coast that London no longer loved His palm tree moonlight and new buddies in the bar Pacific pills and golden rainbow gra** He felt at home at last Went out in the evening to find a sadder girl Don't feel bad you know you're not alone And this is your new home He was gone, gone, gone into the blue Didn't take that long To disappear from view And he rolled, rolled, rolled to the harmony With a shirt of pearls and a kinder sea He wrote me threaded letters of how he had it made Got some desert sounds and the sound was great Played with the friends he'd made
Wrote the black words with tears in their eyes About some girl he'd married And how she'd died, oh how she'd died He was gone, gone, gone into the blue Didn't take that long To disappear from view Francisco blows so long, so slow And his pale beer eyes filled up so low And I understand To feel complete and live inside mirage Oh, I understand To feel complete to write down the mirage And sing hello morning goodbyes To sing hello morning goodbyes And sing hello morning goodbyes... He was gone, gone, gone into the blue Didn't take that long To disappear from view And he rolled, rolled, rolled to the harmony With a shirt of pearls and a kinder sea
