One more day that I've survived
Another night alone
Pay no mind I'm doing fine
I'm breathing on my own
I'm here
And I'm on the mend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend my friend
Wake me when the hour arrives
Wake me with my name
See you somewhere down the line
We're tethered once again
I'm here
And I'm on the mend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend my friend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend my friend
Was it you?
Sat alone
Here we go
Close and stay a while
To take me where you go
Single file we walk the mile
Who's wandering back home
I'm here
And I'm on the mend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend my friend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend my friend
Was it you?
Sat alone
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Another night alone
Pay no mind I'm doing fine
I'm breathing on my own
I'm here
And I'm on the mend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend my friend
Wake me when the hour arrives
Wake me with my name
See you somewhere down the line
We're tethered once again
I'm here
And I'm on the mend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend my friend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend my friend
Was it you?
Sat alone
Here we go
Close and stay a while
To take me where you go
Single file we walk the mile
Who's wandering back home
I'm here
And I'm on the mend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend my friend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend
I'm here
And I'm on the mend my friend
Was it you?
Sat alone
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go

"'On The Mend' is kind of old, it's an older track that was written probably four years ago or something like that. It was written in London. I wrote it sitting in a hotel room."
it´s extremely tender,like the great and pure songs,
without pretensions..
I think It tells,the life of a normal anonymous person
strugging in his/her life..hard work,loneliness but with a little piece of hope . "Here
we go"
You are not alone,my friend,we will help you..
Probably dedicated to some anonymous friend of one member of the band
maybe Dave´s one
;)
This is one of my favorites on the acoustic CD. So mellow, and the chorus is haunting and calming.
Amazing song to listen to at night.
Beautiful song, fabulous guitar work. Love the instrumental outro that plays the song out, with it's rising harmonies and clever use of rhythmic syncopation. Brilliant.
Second only to 'Razor' on the acoustic CD.
"One more day that I've survived another night alone. Pay no mind I'm doin' fine, breathing on my own."
You tell the girl not to worry that you'll make it and you don't want her to feel sorry in any way.
"Wake me when the hour arrives..."
When you come around and realize I'm meant for you, let me know.
For me it's just about trying to make it on your own but all the while knowing that when that person comes around you'll fall for her again... "See you somewhere down the line we're teathered once again."
