Girl from Mars
The Ash Lyrics

Do you remember the time
Asking someone if they recall a specific period in the past

I knew a Girl From Mars?
Referring to a girl the singer once knew who was from a different planet

I don't know if you knew that
Uncertain whether the person being spoken to is aware of this past experience

Oh we'd stay up late playing cards
Recalling spending long nights playing cards with the girl

Henri Winterman Cigars
Mentioning a specific brand of cigars smoked during those late nights

Though she never told me her name
Despite spending time together, the singer never learned the girl's name

I still love you Girl From Mars
Expressing continued affection for the girl from another planet

Sitting in a dreamy daze by the water's edge
Describing a specific memory of sitting by the water, lost in thought

On a cool summer's night
Setting the scene for a specific memory on a pleasant summer evening

Fireflies and stars in the sky
Providing sensory details of the setting of the memory

Gentle glowing light
Describing the soft and muted illumination of a nearby cigarette

From your cigarette
Clarifying where the gentle glowing light is coming from

The Breeze blowing softly on my face
Recalling a gentle breeze on the skin

Reminds me of something else
Triggering a memory from the past

Something that in my memory has been replaced
Acknowledging that some memories may fade or be replaced over time

Suddenly all comes back
Describing the sudden return of a vivid memory

And as I look to the stars
Pondering the night sky and the vastness of the universe

Searching through the darkness
Trying to find something or someone in the dark

And over the moonlit stand
Referring to the beauty of the moonlit landscape

Electricity in the air
Describing an intangible energy present in the moment

Twisting all through the night on the terrace
Recalling a specific night spent on a terrace with a mysterious girl

Now that the summer is here
Referencing a present moment when summer has arrived

I know that you are almost in love with me
Asserting that the girl from Mars may have had feelings for the singer

I can see it in your eyes
Interpreting the girl's emotions through her eyes

Strange lights shimmering
Describing a peculiar and unexplainable occurrence

Over the sea tonight
Referring to the present moment and the beauty of the sea at night

And it almost blows my mind
Stating that the surreal moment is difficult to comprehend

Today asleep in the chair by the window
Mentioning a recent memory of dozing off in a specific place

It felt as if you'd returned
Suggesting that the girl from Mars has returned in spirit or memory

I thought that you were standing over me
Thinking that the girl was present in the moment, perhaps as a ghost or apparition

When I woke there was no-one there
Realizing that it was just a dream or illusion

I still dream of you
Admitting that thoughts of the girl from Mars still enter the artist's dreams

And I still dream of you
Reiterating that the girl is still present in the artist's subconscious

I still love you Girl From Mars
Concluding with a repetition of the continued love and affection for the girl from the other planet
