songs about roving, rambling and plain hard luck & photography from the other side …
send your heart back from where you left it

Knock the breath out of your madness / Burn your photographs at the edges / Send your heart back from where you left it / Took a long way to come here / Got a long way to go (Caitlin Canty)

headed out as far as he could, past the cities

And headed out as far as he could / Past the cities and gated neighborhoods / He slept ’neath the stars / Wrote down what he dreamt / And he built a machine / For no one to see / Then took flight, first light / Of new morning (Calexico)

never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long

I never saw the morning ’til I stayed up all night / I never saw the sunshine ’til you turned out the light / I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long / I never heard the melody until I needed the song (Tom Waits)
