what itis like - arthur russell lyrics

Loading...

in iowa, in the tall gr-ss, 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 gr-ss

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 gr-ss 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 gr-ss 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
