I've traveled far just to look at the stars from a new place

They look just the same from the hills and the planes, yes it's true

You gave it all to a fool

How could I know how I'd fair 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 tastes 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



Ooh, When I return I will be better than, better than before

For I may have learned what your medicine is for, ooh

When I return

When I return



When I return I'll love you better than, better than before, oh

For now I have learnt what your medicine ïs for, oh

When I return

When I return
