Love Ain’t For Keeping - The Who
Album: Who's Next
genre: Folk Rock
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 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
