When I Return

[Verse 1]

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?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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
