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 is for, oh When I return, when I return
