Far away places
with strange sounding names
Far away over the sea
Those far away places
with strange sounding names
Are calling, calling me
Going to China or maybe Siam
I want to 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 whistles of a train
I pray for the day
I can get under way
And look for those castles
in Spain
Oh they call me a dreamer
Well maybe I am
But I know
that I'm burning to see
Those far away places
with strange sounding names
Calling, calling me
