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
