Far Away Places

Far away places with strange-sounding names

Far away over the sea

Those far away places with the strange-sounding names

Are callin', callin' me

Goin' to China or maybe Siam

I want to see for myself

Those far away places I've been readin' about

In a book that I took from the shelf

I start getting restless whenever I hear

The whistle of a train

I pray for the day I can get underway

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-sounding names

Callin', callin' me
