FAR AWAY PLACES
By Alex Kramer and Joan Whitney
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse 1
FAR AWAY PLACES WITH STRANGE SOUNDING NAMES,
FAR AWAY OVER THE SEA,
THOSE FAR AWAY PLACES WITH THE STRANGE SOUNDING NAMES....
ARE CALLIN’, CALLIN’ ME,
Verse 2
GOIN’ TO CHINA, OR MAYBE SIAM,
I WANNA SEE FOR MYSELF,
THOSE FAR AWAY PLACES I’VE BEEN READIN’ ABOUT....
IN A BOOK THAT I TOOK FROM A SHELF,
Bridge
I START GETTIN’ 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,
Verse 3
THEY CALL ME A DREAMER, WELL, MAYBE I AM,
BUT I KNOW THAT I’M BURNIN’ TO SEE....
THOSE FAR AWAY PLACES WITH THE STRANGE SOUNDIN’ NAMES....
CALLIN’....., CALLIN’...... ME!
(Repeat Entire Refrain)
Drop me an "E" any time.
