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 calling,
Calling me

Going to China
Or maybe Siam
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places
I've been reading 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 burning to see
Those far away places
With the strange-sounding names
Calling,
Calling me
