Far away Places

Far away places with strange sounding names,
Far away over the sea.
Those far away places with the strange sounding names
Are calling calling me.

Going to China or manybe Siam
I wanna see for myself,
Those far away places I've been reading about
From a book that I took from the 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 I am burning to see
Those far away places with the strange sounding names
Calling, calling me.

(Lyrics by Sam Cooke.)

I've been and seen these far away places !
