Píseň: Far Away Places

Interpret:: Sam Cooke
Album:: Cooke's Tour

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


 Goin' to China, or maybe Siam
 I wanna see for myself
 Those far away places
 I've been reading about
 In a book 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 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
 Those for away places with strange sounding names
 calling, calling me
 calling, calling me
