"Love Ain't For Keeping" lyrics

The Who Lyrics

"Love Ain't For Keeping"

Laying on my back
In the newly mown grass
Rain is coming down
But I know the clouds will pass
You bring me tea
Say the babe's a-sleeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping

Black ash from the foundry
Hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed
By the burning firewood
The seeds are bursting
The spring's a-seeping
Lay down, my darling
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping

Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down, my darling
Love ain't for keeping
