236-6132 is the number of my love

Even though it's been some time since he made fair to answer

'Cause he feints and fades from view like a fighter ducks a glove

Though i play the highway kind and he the china dancer

If i was afraid to break or bleed

I would find someone much easier to need

But when drifters' dreams come true and when push comes 'round to shove

236-6132 is the number of my love



236-6132 is the number i must call

When casey's at the bat, and sleeping beauty slumbers

When the frost is on the dew, and my teardrops freeze and fall

Till the world is frozen flat, and the long night snows me under

On the icy nails of no return

We will strike the match and set the night to burn

'Cause when beauty wakes anew and when casey cracks the ball

236-6132 is the only number



I am not looking for no champion of my freedom

I am anything but anybody's foundling

Sometimes i feel like i am wandering, an old balloon on broken string

A bubble in a baby's dream, a lost and lonely buzzardling

A vulture beating creaky wings, while angry storms go gathering around me



236-6132 is the number of my love

When the clouds are howlin rain and the sky is black as ashes

'Cause it's sunlight where we flew, though the trail is cold above

And the raven quakes in vain while the lightning barks and flashes

Still the clouds will fade to gray cocoons

And spring the winken monarchs, nodding never-blinken moons

When the crows come home to roost and the eagle weds the dove

236-6132 is the number of my love
