Layin' on my back Layin' on my back In the newly mown gra** In the newly mown gra** Rain is coming down Rain is coming down But I know the clouds will pa** But i know the clouds will pa** You bring me tea You bring me tea Say 'the babe's a-sleepin'' Say "the babe's a-sleepin'" Lay down beside me Lay down beside me Love ain't for keeping Love ain't for keeping Black ash from the foundry Black ash from the foundry Hangs like a hood Hangs like a hood But the air is perfumed But the air is perfumed By the burning firewood By the burning firewood The seeds are bursting The seeds are bursting The spring is seeping The spring is seeping Lay down beside me Lay down beside me Love ain't for keeping Love ain't for keeping Lay down beside me Lay down beside me Love ain't for keeping Love ain't for keeping Lay down beside me Lay down beside me Love ain't for keeping Love ain't for keeping Lay down my darling Lay down my darling Love ain't for keeping Love ain't for keeping
