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 drip 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
