Faraway places

With strange soundin' names

Faraway over the sea

Those faraway places

With the strange soundin' names

Are callin', callin' me



Goin' to China

Or maybe Siam

I want to see for myself

Those faraway places

I've been readin' 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 burnin' to see

Those faraway places

With the strange soundin' names

Callin', callin' me...
