What It's Like
In Iowa, in the tall grass, there’s a coupleShe’s very young and he’s a young preacherAnd every day they would go out To the fields where nothing is plantedAnd lie in the tall grassBut one day he called her into the sanctuaryAnd he said‘Kate, I’ve been touched by the Lord;I don’t need you any more.’And she didn’t know what to thinkBut she loved the LordSo she just leaned back in the pewAnd 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 meAnd tell me of what I seeA feeling there must be an answer for meI feel like I ache all over Inside my heart is so, so troubled I feel like I could dieOh is this what love’s supposed to be?But I, I’m not one to gambleAnd I don’t need to scrambleI didn’t know that love would strike meLetras de cancionesBut this is what it’s likeThis is what it’s likeOn Sunday I read somewhereThat real love is heart and soulYeah, but only a master could understand thatI left that old magazine and walked out into the green of summerI felt like I could cryBut in the grass I only satWell I, I’m not one to gambleAnd I don’t need to scrambleI didn’t know that love would strike meBut this is what it’s likeThis is what it’s like
