Far Away Places

Far away places, with strange soundin' names,
Far away over the sea .. .
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names,
Are callin', callin' me .. .

Goin' to China or maybe Siam,
I wanna see for myself .. .
Those far away places, I've been readin' about,
In a book that I took from a shelf .. .

I start gettin' restless whenever I hear
The whistle of a train .. .
I pray for the day I can get under way
And look for those castles in Spain!

They call me a dreamer, well maybe I am,
But I know that I'm burnin' to see
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names,
Callin' ... callin' ... me .. .
