You took him down to the coast
Just to get away
There they sat within the dunes
Not knowing what to say
You told him, well maybe lied
Mother's gone away for a while too
And she told me to say
That she still loves you
And everything's fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine

He turned to hide his eyes
From the eyes of memory
Remembered kiss of see-salt lips
Tied up in history
And when you held him just as he had held her
He whispered "I need you"
And looking skywards he lied
"Everything's fine"
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine

Everything's fine
Fine
Fine
Fine

Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine

In the boy's face, he saw his own
Blood, eyes, and arms outstretched
Hand in hand, within wet sand
They slept
Down to the beach, down to the sea
The wind, the rain and he
And everything is gonna be just fine
Everything's fine
Fine

Everything's fine
Fine
Fine
Fine

Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
