Lyrics
Those far away places with
Strange-sounding names, far away over the sea
Those far away places
With the strange-sounding names
Are calling, calling, me
I'm going to China, or maybe Siam
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places
I've been reading about
In a book that I took from the shelf
I keep wishin' I was somewhere else
Waiting on a train
And I pray for the day
I can get underway
And search for those castles in Spain
They call me a dreamer, maybe I am
But I'm never longin' to see
Those far away places
With the strange-sounding names
Calling, calling, me
I keep wishin' I was somewhere else
Waiting on a train
And I pray for the day
I can get underway
And search for those castles in Spain
They call me a dreamer, maybe I am
But I'm never longin' to see
Those far away places
With the strange-sounding names
Calling, calling, me
Writer(s): Joan Whitney, Alex C. Kramer
