I know the way
That I feel about you
Im never going to run away
Im never going to run away
Never knew the way
When I lived without you
Im never going to run away
Im never going to run away
I came to you when
No one could hear me
Im sick and weary
Of being alone
Empty streets and
Hungry faces
The worlds no place when
Youre on your own
A heart needs a home
Some people say
That I should forget you
Im never going to be a fool
Im never going to be a fool
A better life, they say
If Id never met you
Im never going to be a fool
Im never going to be a fool
Tongues talk fire and
Eyes cry rivers
Indian givers
Hearts of stone
Paper ships and
Painted faces
The worlds no place when
Youre on your own
A heart needs a home

It's wonderful to be part of a small community that loves this music. I'm 70 and have love them since day one.

I always felt Linda didn't really get the recognition she deserved for her voice...

@billking8843 24 дня назад

She said in a recentish interview that she loved being a darling of the music critics and didn't care about not having hit records.

@robinzachary9355 3 года назад

My husband and I sang this song at our wedding 25 years ago. We were obsessed with Richard and Linda when we first got together and wanted to be just like them. We are still singing together after all these years.

It takes you deep in. Richard Thompson picks up a guitar but God plays. And Linda's singing is every bit as good as his playing.

@derekbiggerstaff 7 лет назад

Linda's recorded performances from back then have stood the test of time better than her contemporaries. She sings like the song is more important than the performance, but at the same time she is making it technically spot on.

@jhankri 13 лет назад

This is a song that really demonstrates what a fantastic songwriter Richard Thompson is. I see him live every chance I get. Unfortunately I've never had the priviledge of seeing Linda live.

@paulbradshaw303 3 года назад

Deep artistry from the two of them . Quicksilver captured on film. Richard wrote such emotive imagery in his songs. Such a shame the songs are not more widely known. Simply beautiful. Linda looking and sounding amazing

@railwaystationmaster 9 лет назад

The 40 years that have now passed since this recording have done little to diminish its impact, a feat few can achieve , and even fewer seldom get this close to perfection ,

@billcbren 10 лет назад

Linda not only has an incredible voice, but she has those classic English looks. So beautiful.

@ardconnel 10 лет назад

Indeed - but she's Scottish!

@billcbren 10 лет назад

She was born in London and spent six years there and then moved to Glasgow. I don't know whether her heritage is Scots.

@ardconnel 10 лет назад

Bill Brennan I do believe her parents were Scottish, and she was certainly brought up in Glasgow. I knew her brother, actor Brian Pettifer, well known for his role in the Rab C Nesbit series. You just can't get any more Scottish than he was!

@gaconnochie 9 лет назад

Bill Brennan Linda's mother was Scottish and she spent most of her youth in Scotland. Richard's father was Scottish but as far as I know he lived in England all his youth

Yes, but sometimes it is possible to get carried away with better and best, especially watching this. She is one among the greats. The ways Linda does "Withered and Died" is another really beautiful thing.

@Anzevuil 5 лет назад

This song sung and played by R&L will always make me cry and break my heart. This is from someone who will likely (like millions on this planet) be alone... no one who will love, the inability to love back... If a heart is broken, then where would the home be? That will always be a personal question.

@Boviss1Bovis 15 лет назад

It is wonderful that artists evolve and develop over time - you couldnt ever quarrel with a song of RT's he is such a craftsman songwriter and his playing is so fine - Must confess that my favourite era for him is from Liege and Lief up to First Light. The furious collaborations with Swarbrick and then the spiritual desolation/searching and then the reigious-tune-as-lovesong (which is an old tradition in Sufi Islam) Planet Waves to Street Legal is a similar peak IMO - the raw true stuff.

@josephspagna2829 8 лет назад

+Chris Moore It's about God (Allah, I suppose). It's about she and Richard converting to Sufism, a mystical form of Islam.

@lexo30 13 лет назад

Linda Thompson has one of the bleakest voices I've ever heard. It made her so perfect for the stuff he was writing back then.

@paulmartin3725 2 года назад

True enough, but she could also do a "clear, happy" voice - Bright Lights, Beggar Girl, Hokey, her first solo album... Not a "great" singer maybe, but tremendously, subtly emotive.

In addition to having a great voice, Linda Thompson had great cheekbones & a lovely dimple in her chin! Oh, and Richard was (& still is) a fabulous guitar virtuoso.
