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
