I've travelled far just to look at the stars from a new place They look just the same from the hills and the plains, yes it's true You gave it all to a fool How could I know how I'd fare without you 'Til I was gone, gone, gone? When I return I will be better than, better than before For I will have learned what your medicine is for When I return When I return You and your face and your hair and your taste made me leave you You and your all-giving smile all the while made me go So I lived in the east, I lived in the west, I did it all without a penny I lived twenty days in a hornet's nest and didn't get stung hardly any But I still miss you Ohh, When I return I will be better than, better than before For I may have learned what your medicine is for, oh When I return When I return When I return I'll love you better than, better than before, oh For now I have learned what your medicine is for When I return When I return
