Paging Audrey - Walter Becker

In the littlest hours 'tween the dusk and dawn

While the night light glows with the music on

You could climb so high in the dream time sky

And go anywhere

In that sometime place ever lost somehow

In the here and gone or the there and now

Did it all go bust, crumble down in dust

Or just slip away?

Paging Audrey, any random star

Lost and lonely, somewhere very far

Paging Audrey, come in from the cold

In the littlest hours, oh, oh

In that far-off room drenched in desert sun

Evil words were spoke, dirty deeds were done

Could we sail back there?

Snatch them from the air

I dare anyone

Can I stand right here?

Call them back and say

Those were never meant to be heard that way

Let the heavens crack, let the day go black

I’d give anything

Paging Audrey, somewhere very near

Safe and silent, there you are my dear

Paging Audrey, anybody home

In the littlest hours, oh, oh

In a distant room certain things were said

As the loved one lies on the love-torn bed

And the night rolls on and by light of dawn

You’re not anywhere

Paging Audrey, this is who we are

Do remember on any random star

Paging Audrey, coming strong and pure

In the littlest hours, oh, oh
