What It's Like

In Iowa in the tall grass there's a couple

She's very young and he's a young preacher

And every day they would go out

To the fields where nothing is planted

And lie in the tall grass

But one day he called her into the sanctuary

And he said

'Kate I've been touched by the Lord

I don't need you any more.'

And she didn't know what to think

But she loved the Lord

So she just leaned back in the pew

And thought about the tall grass and said

'Reverend ' she said 'Reverend

'Reverend the only reason I did it is to find out what it's like.'

Oh give me the truth to me

And tell me of what I see

A feeling there must be an answer for me

I feel like I ache all over

Inside my heart is so so troubled I feel like I could die

Oh is this what love's supposed to be

But I I'm not one to gamble

And I don't need to scramble

I didn't know that love would strike me

But this is what it's like

This is what it's like

On Sunday I read somewhere

That real love is heart and soul

Yeah but only a master could understand that

I left that old magazine and walked out into the green of summer

I felt like I could cry

But in the grass I only sat

Well I I'm not one to gamble

And I don't need to scramble

I didn't know that love would strike me

But this is what it's like

This is what it's like
