Far away places   With strange sounding names   Far away over the sea      Far away places   With the strange sounding names   Are callin', (callin'), callin', (callin') me      Going to China, or maybe Siam   I wanna see for myself   Those far away places   I've been reading about   In a book (in a book)   That I took (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 under way   And look for those castles in Spain      They call me a dreamer   Well, maybe I am   But I know that I'm burning to see   Those far away places   With the strange sounding names   Callin', (callin'), callin', (callin') me   Far away, so far away   Far away, so far away
