Those far away places with strange sound and names
Far away over sea
Far away places with the strange sound and names are calling calling me I go into China or maybe Siam I wanna see for myself
Those far away places I've been readin' bout in a book
That I took from a shelf I keep wishin' I was
Somewhere else way on a train
I pray for the day I can get under way and search for those castles in Spain
They call me a dreamer well maybe I am but
I'm never longin' to see
The strange far away places with the strange sound and names calling calling me
Calling calling me
