(alex kramer / joan whitney) The springfields Far away places With strange sounding names Far away over the sea Far away places With the strange sounding names Are callin', (callin'), callin', (callin') me Going to china, or maybe siam I wanna see for myself Those far away places I've been reading about In a book (in a book) That i took (that i took) From a shelf
I start getting restless Whenever i hear The whistle of a train I pray for the day i can get under way 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 Those far away places With the strange sounding names Callin', (callin'), callin', (callin') me Far away, so far away Far away, so far away
