This song seems pretty self explanatory from the lyrics. I don't know the singers names, but the male and female singer both lived out in the country where there was just a big cemetary.
When the male was younger he wanted to go to the store, and said that the strip malls and harbor cities seemed exiting. The female always liked the woods or whatever the area around her house was like where she could hike.
When they both return when they're older they find the area has become suburbs. The female of course hates this neighborhood. The houses are all exactly the same and the fields and streams are gone. Even though its always what the male wanted, when he was younger, he realizes now that its not as exiting as he thought, refering to it as a "blight"
As for what happened to the bodies, once the land was bought and turned into suburbs, the cemetary, just like the "fields and streams and woods" was paved over. The bodies all had to be dug up and moved so that houses could be built where they used to be.
Wondering what they did with the bodies is exactly what anyone would think if they return to their hometown and find a cemetary gone.
the bodies line is directly addressing "what would they do with bodies dug up" but it also speaks to a greater question of the past. What happens to the bodies, faces, names, places, of the past as we carry on into the future...they are largely forgotten and people never stop to reflect on the change or if we are better off now...or why we changed in the first place.
