Smiling man

Miles and miles we go
Getting nearer
Soon to see the smiling man
Freckle face ginger man
Laughing man
Too soon the time passes

Miles and miles we go
Getting further
Missing the smiling man
Freckle face ginger man
Laughing man
Too long the time passes

Miles and miles we go
Near and far
Loving the smiling man
Freckle face ginger man
Laughing man
And so the time passes
