Faraway Places

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 want to see for myself Those far away places I've been readin' about In a book that I took from the shelf I start gettin' 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 far away places with the strange-soundin' names Callin', callin' me (I pray for the day when I'll find a way Those far away places to see) Those far away places with the strange-soundin' names Callin', callin' me
