Someone below referred to Pierre Cour - that would be the Mon Pays Bleu version of this song - I actually kinda liked it just a bit better than this - somehow the words fit just a touch better. Thanks Pierre for that.

I so remember this song.
We were living in Wiltshire ('69).
This is one artist I would take with me to a deserted island.

Fantastic song, and a fantastic singer.

Actually my Dad did leave to go to war but I don't remember him. I did spend time as a boy sitting on the banks of the Tyne watching the ships and train spotting too, and I did have to leave my beautiful home and fabulous old Durham Town several times and love the ancient place. Eventually emigrating to Canada from there. Could have written this song myself-great song great voice-It still breaks me up and I'm seventy.
Thanks to the writer Piere Cour and Roger and also for the video.
