far away places with strange sounding names
far away over the sea
those far away places with strange sounding names
are calling
calling me
goin' 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 a 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 for away places with strange sounding names
calling
calling me
calling
calling me
