    This beautiful song brings back very sad memories when I was only 10 years old. A close childhood friend of mine died while falling off a cliff close by his home. He and 2 other friends were on their way back home from a day trip out on hike and he forgot his lunch box back from where they came from. He headed back up to fetch it and on his way back to them he accidentally tripped and fell from a dizzy height from a cliff to his death. The other 2 friends 'ran for home' to get help but it was too late. He was such a lovely kind childhood friend and I still miss him today. This song was a hit on the radio at the time and when I hear those words '....run for home, run as fast as I can' I always think of him and his 2 friends running and what they must've thought and gone through at that moment especially. It was and remains such a tragic and terrible loss for everyone in his life. So very sad. We still miss you deeply Carl, you will never be forgotten. xxxx

    A beautiful song, reminds me how great were the seventies, i was just a kid listening to the radio, there was good music in most radio stations, today if i open the radio when i have no choice i close it in a few moments because everything is louzy from the music to the garbage talk, thanks for sharing.

    This song still sounds as good in 2020 as it did when it was released,a true classic I was fortunate enough to see them perform as one of the warm up acts runrig and they were amazing and the speech he gave when he came on stage was so perfect anyone who was there will know what I'm talking about

I may be wrong as I now live in the Czech Republic and haven't been home for a few years - bit of a tear jerking track all round as a get away theme for this nightmare we're all living in. I think this was one of the most talented bands from the North East. I've just learned the song. :)

    This song helped me rectify a big mistake i made & before it could get any worse helped me get out & end a relationship that would never have worked
    I packed my bags & travelled hundreds of miles by plane, train & car & i got home, tired, emotional but essentially happy knowing id done the right thing that was over 40yrs ago & ive never regretted my decision!
    Thank you to Lindisfarne not only my fellow Geordie bretheren but your words in this song inspired my flight home
