far away places

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
