Far Away
Rene & Rene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Goin' to China or maybe Siam
I want to see for myself
Those far away places I've been readin' about
In a book that I took from the 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 burnin' to see




Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
Callin', callin' me

Line by Line Meaning

Far away places with strange-sounding names
Distant locations with unique names


Far away over the sea
A long distance across the ocean


Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
Those remote spots possessing eccentric appellations


Are callin', callin' me
Keep beckoning me to come over and explore


Goin' to China or maybe Siam
Traveling towards China or perhaps Siam


I want to see for myself
I aspire to witness those places firsthand


Those far away places I've been readin' about
Those remote locations that I have been reading and learning about


In a book that I took from the shelf
Contained within the book that I grabbed from the bookshelf


I start getting restless whenever I hear
My impatience starts kicking in whenever I listen to


The whistle of a train
The whistle sound of locomotive transportation


I pray for the day I can get underway
I appeal to the future time when I can finally embark on the journey


And look for those castles in Spain
And search for those Spanish castles


They call me a dreamer, well, maybe I am
They label me as a visionary, but that may be accurate


But I know that I'm burnin' to see
Nonetheless, I am eager and fervent to personally witness


Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
Those remote spots possessing eccentric appellations


Callin', callin' me
Continuously summoning and alluring me
