Lyrics

[Chorus]
Those far away places
With strange sound and names
Far away over the sea
And the far away places
With the strange sound and names
Are callin', callin' me
[Verse 1]
I'm goin' to China or maybe Siam
Me too
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places I been reading about
In a book that I took from a shelf
[Verse 2]
I keep wishin' I was somewhere else
Waiting on a train
And 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
Hey, dreamer
But I know that I'm longin' to see
[Chorus]
Those far away places
With the strange sound and names
Callin', callin' me
Callin', callin'
[Verse 3]
I keep wishin' I was somewhere else
Waiting on a train
And 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 know that I'm longin' to see
[Chorus]
Those far away places
With the strange sound and names
Callin', callin' me
Callin', callin'
Callin', callin' me
