Far away places

With strange sounding names

Far away over the sea



Far away places

With the strange sounding names

Are callin', (callin'), callin', (callin') me



Going to China, or maybe Siam

I wanna see for myself

Those far away places

I've been reading about

In a book (in a book)

That I took (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 under way

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

Callin', (callin'), callin', (callin') me

Far away, so far away

Far away, so far away
