Far Away Places
Wanderlust Melodies: Embracing the Allure of Distant Lands
Lyrics
Those far away places
Refers to distant locations
With strange-soundin' names
Places with names unfamiliar or peculiar
Far away over the sea
Far away across the ocean
Those far away places with
Those remote places with
The strange-soundin' names
Unusual or odd names
Are callin', callin' me
Expresses a strong desire or pull towards these places
Goin' to China or maybe Siam
Contemplating going to China or possibly Siam (now Thailand)
I want to see for myself
Wants to personally experience and witness these locations
Those far away places I've
Refers to wanting to visit the distant places
Been readin' about
Places he has read about
In a book that I took from the shelf
Mentions reading about these places in a book
I start gettin' restless whenever I hear
Feeling restless upon hearing a train's whistle
The whistle of a train
Expresses a desire to travel when hearing a train
I pray for the day I can get underway
Expresses longing to begin a journey and search for dreams
And look for those castles in Spain
Metaphorically searching for elusive or unattainable goals
They called me a dreamer, well maybe I am
Acknowledges being labeled a dreamer but accepts it
But I know that I'm longin' to see
Emphasizes a strong yearning to see those distant places
Those far away places with
Refers again to remote locations with
The strange-soundin' names
Unusual or odd names
Callin', callin' me callin', callin' me
Reiteration of the strong pull towards these places
