Tim Hardin 1 (1966)
Don’t Make Promises
It seems the songs we're singing
Are all about tomorrow
Tunes of promises you can't keep
Every moment bringing a love I can only borrow
You're telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I'm not aware of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it
Is it hard to keep me where you want me staying
Don't go on betraying it
Don't make promises you can't keep
We had a chance to find it
Our time was now or never
You promised me things that I need
But then the things behind it took away the chance forever
You're telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I'm not aware...
Green Rocky Road
It’s a green, green and rocky road, promenade in green
Tell me who y’all love, tell me who y’all love
If your mamma chew tobacco, hooka, tooka soda cracker
It’s a green rocky road, promenade in green
Tell me who y’all love, who y’all love
If you got a carpet on your floor, you’ll never get to Baltimore
It’s a green rocky road, promenade in green
Who y’all love, tell me who y’all love
See the bird up in the sky, he don’t run he just fly
It’s a green rocky road, promenade in green
Tell me who y’all love, tell me who y’all love
Smugglin’ Man
I'm an old time smugglin' man and I know just what to do
I'm an old time smugglin' man and I know just what to do
I sell guns to the Arabs, I sell dynamite to the Jews
I'm a rum runner, and I built myself a ship
I'm a rum runner, and I built myself a ship
No matter how many slaves I sell
I have just enough money for one more trip
I sell whiskey to the Indians and I smuggle in the gin
I sell whiskey to the Indians and I smuggle in the gin
If you want anything illegal
ask old Timmie to bring it in
I'm an old time smugglin' man and I know just what to do
I'm an old time smugglin' man and I know just what to do
I sell guns to the Arabs, I sell dynamite to the Jews
How Long
How long, how long has the evening train been gone?
Baby won't you tell me, how long?
I'm riding a railroad,
I've headed out of town
The way things is it don't look like I
I oughta hang around
How long...
I'm riding a railroad,
I got the blues all around my head
The way I wake up this morning
I shouldn't get out of bed
How long ...
While You’re On Your Way
Making love has been as much as I could hope it would be
Every night has been like one night to me
You've got me feeling again
The feeling you gave me before
But to you those nights like any other night
Is just one more
Don't try to tell me that you care enough to love me
When you can't even do the things I need you to do
Don't make me listen to words you think will please me
When pleasing me don't mean anything to you
Just one more night makes no difference
As long as there's another night
To make right what you did wrong
The last days we had of one another will have to do
While you're on your way, while you're on your way
How did the feeling feel for you?
It’ll Never Happen Again
I remember our first affair
All the pain, always rain around my eyes
It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again
Every time I leave you alone
I remember times I couldn't come home
It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again
Why can't you be the way I want you to be
Why can't you see you got to change to love me
Reason to Believe
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straightfaced while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
and never think of myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straightfaced while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe
Never Too Far
Things you say will change your way
Like dark today, the way you are
From day to day your lies will play
Till you're away but never too far
Do you feel more like going on
When I say I wasn't wrong to chose you
Does it ease your heart to say
That tomorrow brings another way to lose you
In my wandering sense of time
I'll try to see enough to rhyme your changing line
In my slipping sort of step
I'll try to do much better yet
With what I get
Do you feel more...
Part of the Wind
Falling through my heart into loving you
Flying on wingless, wondering what to do
Asking a future for you
Fortune falling with my heart
Lock be trusted in time
Trusting the breeze to be mine
Hoping you'll be part of the wind
Running back to you I'm waiting for the sun
Waiting hoping you're the one
I won't chase you if you run
Hoping you'll be part of the wind
Ain’t Gonna Do Without
They call me Long Tall Timmie, cause I know what love’s about (x2)
If my baby leave me, (old Timmie / I) ain’t gonna do without
You got to have more than one woman If you wanna get along (x2)
If one don’t teach you, the other will do you wrong
Misty Roses
You look to me like Misty Roses
Too soft to touch but too lovely to leave alone
If I could be like Misty Roses
I'd love you much, you're too lovely to leave alone
Flowers often cry, but too late to find
That their beauty has been lost with their peace of mind
You look to me like love forever
Too good to last but too lovely not to try
If I believe in love forever
I'd forget the past, you're too lovely not to try
Hang On to a Dream
What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream
How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems
What can I do, she's saying we're through
With how it was
What will I try, I still don't see why
She says what she does
How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems
What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream
How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems
How can we hang on to a dream
What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream
How can we hang on to a dream
How can it will it be the way it seems
How can we hang on to a dream
