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)
