I remember crossing the railway bridge on the train North with the iconic Tyne Bridge coming into view after my last day in uniform as I returned home - a moment shared by both of my grandfathers after WWII & my father when he left the forces in the 1960's, before me too in the 90's. This song puts me right back there on that last train ride back - I ran home for good and made it back like my forefathers. Where else would we go in the end?

Great Song.

This brings back so many poignant memories it's untrue. I'm in floods of tears everytime I hear it but it's for all the right reasons! R.I.P. Mr & Mrs John Norburn, you wont be forgotten.

I was there every Christmas as well. So many encores I always missed the last bus home and had to get a taxi. Worth it though.

Didn't know Lindisfarne sung this. Haven't heard it for years. Lovely song.

@SKYLLAB100 I'm sure you are right. I listen to music for inspiration, not lyrics

I've lived in the US for 18 years. I still miss Newcastle. Does this song affect me? Well, I'm here, aren't I? :-)

First time I heard this song in the late 70's, I had no idea who it was but loved it so much I called the radio station to find out, then ran straight to the record store to buy the album. I love the oboe and the accapella part. And then they sing a round! Great stuff compared to the disco shite on the radio at the time. Warm Feeling was also a great song off the same lp, tho' not as atmospheric as this one.
