It Looks Like Rain

I flagged a taxi long before you woke
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 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 weaped

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
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
