No One Here For Me
Solitude in Peach Trees: Clint Black's Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
Caught the Red Eye to Atlanta
Traveled on a late-night flight to Atlanta
Lost an hour off that day
Lost an hour due to time zone changes
Checked my guitar at the ticket counter
Checked in my guitar at the airport counter
They said it was the only way
Airport staff insisted it was the only way to transport it
Just the start of a lonely weekend
Beginning of a weekend feeling isolated and alone
Left my world so far behind
Left my familiar environment far behind
There's beauty on every peach tree here
Observing the beauty of peach trees, yet feeling unfulfilled
I keep lookin' but I never find
Continuously searching but unable to find something meaningful
Cause there's no one here for me
Expressing loneliness with nobody around
And No one there for you
Recognizing absence of companionship for the person addressed
A constant memory
A consistent recollection haunting both individuals
A solitary thought for two
A thought shared by two, even in isolation
I don't have to be so far away
Realization that distance amplifies the need for connection
Before my eyes can see
Distance limits the ability to perceive certain truths
Every night and every day
Emphasizing the constant absence of companionship
There's no one here for me
Continued acknowledgment of loneliness
Although it really didn't solve a thing
Recognizing an attempt to clear thoughts which did not resolve issues
I had to clear my mind and the day went fast
Realizing that time passes quickly, especially during enjoyable moments
Time flies when you're having fun
Understanding that enjoyable moments are transient
Thing is we know it can never last
Acknowledging the impermanence of enjoyable experiences
Too many lovers in the moonlight
Reflecting on numerous romantic encounters under moonlight
To bring me back to reality
The memory of those encounters contrasts with reality
But I'll be on that Red Eye home tonight
Intending to return home on a late-night flight
Someone's waitin' there for me
Acknowledging someone awaiting the return home
Someone there for me
Highlighting the presence of someone at home
And Someone here for you
Acknowledging the absence of someone where the person is currently
A constant memory
Consistent memory shared by both parties
A solitary thought for two
A mutual thought experienced separately
I don't have to be so far away
Realization that distance impedes clear perception
Before my eyes can see
Reiterating the constant absence of companionship
Every night and every day
Continued acknowledgment of longing for companionship
Someone there for me
Emphasizing the presence of someone waiting at home
Someone there for me
Repeating the acknowledgment of someone waiting at home
And Someone here for you
Reiterating the absence of someone at the current location
A constant memory
Shared consistent memory for both individuals
A solitary thought for two
A thought shared by both, despite physical distance
I don't have to be so far away
Acknowledgment of the distance hindering perception
Before my eyes can see
Before realizing the presence of someone waiting at home
Every night and every day
Continued emphasis on the absence of companionship
Someone there for me
Reiterating the presence of someone awaiting at home
