That night your comet fell

Into our wishing well

It made your mother laugh

It cut your dad in half

My love we knew your name

A year before you came

Even then you pulled us close

And scattered all the ghosts

Ache of a hundred funerals

In the miracle

Ache of a hundred funerals

In the miracle

We've studied scripture since

Some secret left its hints

Etched in your finger prints

With a love your life evinces

What moves between the sand

That falls between the hands

Hides in the open sky

Looks out behind your eyes

Ache of a hundred funerals

In the miracle

Ache of a hundred funerals

In the miracle

Your mother and i kissed

It ripped a hole in space

You tunneled to her womb

At the point of every place

In love your life begins

In the midst of a million twins

And death is just a door

To the love of a million more

Ache of a hundred miracles

Ache of a hundred miracles
