Far Away Places lyrics

Far away places, with strange soundin' names
Far away over the sea . .
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names
Are callin', callin' me . .

Goin' to China or maybe Siam
I wanna see for myself . .
Those far away places, I've been readin' about
In a book that I took from a shelf . .

I start gettin' 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 burnin' to see
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names
Callin' . . . callin' . . . me . .
