Moons of Mars

I am still here you walked past me Sunday
a disguise of rags, alcohol and smokey haze
I could see the sadness burn your eyes in the cold
I'll keep coming back and I'll watch you grow old

I've visited several times since that day
Inside that strangers laugh greeting your playful way
There is nothing more crushing than babies with wings
but please listen close, through the hill's silence I sing

Stop feeling guilty when you smile, when you laugh
It's OK to move on, you can't always look back

Through moons of Mars together we breathe
Live your life to the fullest
I'll be there when you leave

You had me with the title but I'm not sure where you took me (its first thing in the morning so I might not be awake) and how they relate. ?
