I flagged a taxi long before you wake

The sun had not yet risen, morning not yet broke

It looks like rain

It looks like rain



A little starling swept above my sleepy head

He plucked a single hair and took off

Laughing madly as he fled

The driver drinking brandy said, "here is to the day"

It looks like rain

It looks like rain



And every breath I ever took

Every tear I ever wept

Every star I wished upon

seemed nothing until now

Every prayer I ever said

seemed strangely answered now

Could it be I'm in love? Could it be I'm in love?



I made the driver park the car beside the sea

I gazed upon the fading dark

And slowly buckled at the knees

The driver drinking gladly said "here is to the day"

it looks like rain

it looks like rain



(chorus repeat)
