- 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 - Hudba
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...
I don't know why I listen to this bloody song. I always cry.
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.
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.
Beautiful story
@@prabinprabin5490 thank you!
Wonderful
I hope you're both good vocalists because that could have been an epic train wreck for your guests! ;)
@@lbowsk thanks for the snarky reply! We are no Richard and Linda, but we're not bad either.
Linda Thompson, beautiful woman, beautiful voice ❤
I don't even have words for how deeply beautiful her singing is....like something from heaven ❤❤
Agree, she has a timeless beauty and clarity of phrasing that is truly astonishing

My god
Perfection
I am reminded that we were all young & bright shining beings once upon a time. 🌈💖
Beautiful words my friend, a wistful and honest song
I'm a hard-hearted old bastard, but this surely brought a tear to my eye...
This is an example of why film and sound recordings were such important inventions. we will always have this moment in time.
the worlds no place when your on your own.................. beautiful. wicked song.
One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs of all time.
I Agreed wholeheartedly
What insight to a beautiful souls song to sign along thank you Richard Thompson
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.
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 ,
Absolutely incredible ❤
Linda not only has an incredible voice, but she has those classic English looks. So beautiful.
Indeed - but she's Scottish!
She was born in London and spent six years there and then moved to Glasgow. I don't know whether her heritage is Scots.
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!
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
Well then... classic United Kingdom looks! She is a beauty.
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.
Loyalty one of the greatest forgotten principles in the West.This songs expressed the Beauty of Loyalty,hopefully it makes a return.
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
this song makes me cry!😥
I so loved listening to this woman sing I once compiled a cassette of all her solo performances from the albums she recorded with Richard Thompson and used to play it every evening after I got home from work to chill out to.
What a wonderful idea, that must have been blissful 😊❤
About as great as music gets.
One of the all-time greatest guitarists/songwriters with one of the all-time greatest vocalists singing a classic.
MAGIC!!!
My favorite song from Richard and Linda Thompson!!!
HAPPY (68th) BIRTHDAY, LINDA!!!
(born 23 August 1947)
"Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers-" one of my favorite lines ever from a totally magic song
among richard's best lines ever.
79steelymatt Unfortunately followed by the ethnic slur "Indian givers"......
hanssvoboda I doubt he'd say it now.
+hanssvoboda what a silly a**hole comment to make ... with the benefit of living 30 + years in the future you can snidely comment on what seems dated about the lyrics ... such a clever lad ...
Really? I'm almost as old as Richard and I knew all about how wrong that phrase was even more than 30 years ago, so right back at you.
I'm totally moved by the musical wonders Richard & Linda Thompson did together!
It’s close to 40 years since I first heard this song - and it still blows me away
breath-takingly
jaw-droppingly
stunningly
beautiful
The World's no place when you're on your own..A heart needs a home.Beautiful sentiment and beautiful performance!
Her voice is perfection.
Still magic. 1975 blimey, how time flies..
I love this song. I keep playing it over and over again.
Richard and Linda were just magical together saw them in 1980 at Theatre Royal in Stratford East London they were magical
Especially on Dimming of the Day
A heart needs a home... but it will only find that home in itself...
Genius. utterly beautiful.
I have watched this about 20 times at least this evening and for some reason I cant help clicking the replay button.
Her beauty is captivating.
One of the greatest singers these isles ever produced
The beauty of this made me cry.
Brilliant - some of Richard's best work was with Linda.
love this,a beautiful song .............lonely people of the world ,wake up before its too late
This made me cry
Yes. Indeed.
Machiavelli 2050 it still does to me.
Love the understated menace of the presenter
This has made me laugh a startling number of times now. Great work
Lol, he was always known as Whispering Bob (Bob Harris)
My favourite song of theirs along with Dimming of The Day and every other song they ever made!!!! what a beautiful performance!! Lovely 5*****
Heart rending...Linda's voice is right in my range and what a delight to sing with her on this song :-)
For June my love of 41 years & wife of 40 years. ❤️🇬🇧🏴
what a voice
Like a refreshing, ice-cold drink from a mountain stream on a hot day. Simple, delicious and very satisfying . This is from "The Old Gray Whistle Test", the greatest music show of all time.
fantastic beautiful song...
Tough exposed song, done with beautiful ease
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.
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.
What's so right about this is what's so wrong with so much music today: two voices and one guitar and stunning beauty!
What a truly beautiful song, wonderfully sung.
This is a beautiful song. It is nice to see a husband/wife duo. I collaborate with my very young cousin, but it is definitely not the same.
melts me.
Simply wonderful
This song slays me every time I hear it. Beautiful and heart-wrenching.
So glad to have finally found this song. So good.
a staggering work - truely great music
i saw them in concert in 1975 or 1997 a long time ago so not sure somewhere in the midlands and they were wonderful. Richard has always been a hero of mine.
My goodness - I'd forgotten about this song. Laden with irony given how they ended up - beautiful none the less.
Utter simplicity, perfection and sheer class
I had a double DVD of the "best" of Whistle Test. Why this wasn't on there I'll never know. Only just discovered this song today. Truely beautiful.
I have the four-disc boxset and it is included. A very haunting performance
Samuel Simmons it's on a follow up cd check it out
Wow - I know Richard's an outstanding guitarist - but this number with his wife is a real gem.
Nothing wrong with coming to appreciate a great artist late in the day. Great art is always gaining new fans. Glad to have your fresh perspective.
This is so incredibly beautiful and painful.
Hermosa cancion❤❤❤
They nailed it every time.
Sheer perfection.
This is their definitive version of this song, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I like the versions on Hokey Pokey and Watching the Dark, but this one really nails it. The fact we also get video with the performance doesn't hurt either.
Quite beautiful.
How I love Whispering Bob!
absolutely stunning, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful song
what a beautiful sound they are both amazing lots of love Kinnon.
Beautiful song beautifully performed. Witn the bonus that, 15 seconds in, you've completely forgotten about Whisperin' Bob
It's been so long since I've heard this song. Like seeing an old friend. I forgot I much I loved it, until I heard it again.
This is totally, absolutely AWESOME!
Memories great memories still sounds great
This is the best video in the internets.
beautiful song.. thanks for posting!
Thank you for sharing this precious moment ❤️❤️
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.
still love her she has the passion
arghh! i cry every time i listen to it...so so so so beautiful!
Beautiful, I always think she's thinking about Nick Drake when singing this as he died only a,month before the recording of this Ogwt she was very close to him:)
+Chris Moore It's about God (Allah, I suppose). It's about she and Richard converting to Sufism, a mystical form of Islam.
Bloody great.
This song makes me cry. Sheer brilliance
Wow this is fab ! Richard and Linda ace !
indescribably lovely
still
Just wonderful
Wonderful music from a beautiful couple ❤️
This is just brilliant.
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.
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.
This is such a pleasure! Thank you for the post x
My favorite all time song.
Absolute perfection.
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.
Wow, wonderful.
Cleapatr, thanks for sharing. I had never heard this gem before. Of course I have heard of Richard and Linda Thompson. I can remember reading Melody Maker and seeing the adverts for "Pour Down Like Silver". I was a teenager in the U.S. so I thought I was cool at the time reading an English music newspaper. Linda's voice is so pure and clear. I would love to hear her sing Jimmy Webb's " The Moon is a Harsh Mistress".
