Lyrics:

Townshend)



Layin' 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-sleepin''

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 is seeping

Lay down beside me

Love ain't for keeping

Lay down

Love ain't for keeping



Lay down beside me

Love ain't for keeping

Lay down my darling

Love ain't for keeping
