Tombstone vs. Ashes

A boy in church sat, confused
 Father, son, holy ghost
 Came as a package for the asking
 Otherwise, no need to choose
 Tombstone versus ashes
 I can't decide
 Cast my spirit heaven-bound?
 Seal my bones up tight?
 Tombstone versus ashes
 Ain't it all the same?
 Cast my spirit heaven-high
 Let the ashes drift away
 Oh ay, oh I...
 Ain't we just like hay?
 Cut and dried and baled
 Our bodies grown to harvest souls
 And used in some new way
 Yeah, ain't we just like hay?
 We're born to drift away
 Til it's lesson time, when we're cut and dried
 For the reasons why we're made
 Tombstone versus ashes
 I can't decide
 Cast my spirit heaven-bound?
 Seal my bones up tight?
 Tombstone versus ashes
 Ain't it all the same?
 Cast my spirit heaven-high
 Let the ashes drift away
 Oh ay, oh I...
 All this time, like firelight
 A glimpse of what's in reach
 Flickers out into night
 All this time, like firelight
 A glimpse of what's in reach
 A box of watches and sweet memories
 Are all that's left behind
 Tombstone versus ashes
 I can't decide
 Cast my spirit heaven-bound?
 Seal my bones up tight?
 Tombstone versus ashes
 Ain't it all the same?
 Cast my spirit heaven-high
 Let the ashes drift away
 Oh ay, oh I...
