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
