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 vs. Ashes
I can’t decide
Cast my spirit heaven-bound
Seal my bones up tight
Tombstone vs. Ashes
Ain’t it all the same?
Cast my spirit heaven-high
Let the ashes drift away
Oh-ay Oh-I
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 vs. Ashes
I can’t decide
Cast my spirit heaven-bound
Seal my bones up tight
Tombstone vs. Ashes
Ain’t it all the same?
Cast my spirit heaven-high
Let the ashes drift away
Oh-ay Oh-I
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
