Faraway Places Lyrics

Faraway places
With strange soundin' names
Faraway over the sea
Those faraway places
With the strange soundin' names
Are callin', callin' meGoin' 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 shelfI 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 SpainThey 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
