Far away places with strange sounding names, far away over the sea, those far away places
with a strange sounding names are calling, calling me.
Going to China or maybe Siam, I want to see for myself, those far away places I've been
reading about in a book that I took from a shell. 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 burning to see.
