Far Away 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 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 . . .
