Do you remember a time when you were gone from Mars? I don't know if you knew that I would stay up late playing cards And you were into mint cigars And she never told me her name I still love you to go from Mars So take a nap, dream these days By the water's edge On a cold summer night Fireflies and stars in the sky Jump the glowing light From your cigarette The breeze blowing softly on my face Reminds me of something else Something that in my memory has been misplaced Suddenly all comes back And as I look to the stars I remember a time when you were gone from Mars I don't know if you knew that I would stay up late playing cards And you were into mint cigars And she never told me her name I still love you to go from Mars Surging through the darkness Over the moon it spread Electricity in the air Drifting off through the night on the terrace And now that summer is here I know that you are almost in love with me I can see it in your eyes Trains lights shimmering over the sea tonight And it almost blows my mind And as I look to the stars I remember a time when you were gone from Mars I don't know if you knew that I would stay up late playing cards And you were into mint cigars And she never told me her name I still love you to go from Mars To the day I sleep in the chair by the window It felt as if you'd returned I thought that you were standing over me When I woke there was no one there I still love you to go from Mars Do you remember the time when you were gone from Mars? I don't know if you knew that I would stay up late playing cards Do you remember the time when you were gone from Mars? I don't know if you knew that I would stay up late playing cards And you were into mint cigars And she never told me her name Do you remember the time when you were gone from Mars? I don't know if you knew that I would stay up late playing cards And you were into mint cigars And I still dream of you I still love you to go from Mars To the day I sleep in the chair by the window
