With strange soundin' names
Faraway over the sea
Those faraway places
With the strange soundin' names
Are callin', callin' me
Goin' to China
Or maybe Siam
I want to see for myself
Those faraway places
I've been readin' about
In a book 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 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 faraway places
With the strange soundin' names
Callin', callin' me
Faraway places With strange soundin' names Faraway over the sea Those faraway places With the strange soundin' names Are callin', callin' me Goin' to China Or maybe Siam I want to see for myself Those faraway places I've been readin' about In a book 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 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 faraway places With the strange soundin' names Callin', callin' me Explain Request ×
