Love this photo! It has only a modest relationship to the subject of the song but, that’s ok. It’s Jamie doing…. no idea!

You will find Everything ids Fine on the Never Forever album

Everything is Fine

This song is the one most directly related to the 202o Pandemic Sequester. Compared to many people, Giselle and I were very fortunate. We had no jobs (loss of income) to worry about, no kids to deal with and no pets to drive us batty. Compared to most people, the adjustment in daily routine was minimal so, I got to treat it lightly with this song.

The powers that be said to me, “Stay home.”
“If you must go out, go alone”
“There is a virus trying hard to kill us.
Breaking our rule is not condoned

So, in our house we stay all night, all day
We’re on our own with all we own
We got no tv, there’s just her and me
The strangest times, we’ve ever known

We look around, the city is ghost town
Everybody’s here and everyone’s alone
Some are feeling sad, some are feeling bad
Some are working hard, worn their fingers to the bone

The hours tick by as the Sun sweeps across the sky
Tonight might bring peace, tonight might be way too long
But we got cookies and wine, on these fine foods we dine
As long as this lady is mine, everything is fine

Two instrumental Verses

Sometimes we’re lazy, sometimes we’re crazy
Sometimes she tells me, “We ’re not alone.”
Sometimes we shrug but every day we hug
When we’re together, we’re home

The hours fly by as the Sun lights up the sky
Tonight will bring love, tonight will make us strong
And we got cookies and wine, on these fine foods we dine
As long as I treat her well, everything is fine
