Does anyone have the lyrics to one of my favorite Tim Hardin songs?

Thanks!

Right, there are sure to be a few mishearing in here, but this is the way Joan Baez sings it, as far as I can make out.

DON'T MAKE PROMISES
T. Hardin

Seems a song for Singing
All about tomorrow
Tunes are promises that you can't keep
Every moment bringing
The love I can only borrow
Telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
And why you're saying
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying
Don't go on betraying
Don't make promises that you can't keep
Don't make promises that you can't keep

Had a chance to find it
The time was now or never
The promise was made for you
When the things behind you
Gave away the chance for me
Telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
And why you're saying
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying
Don't make promises that you can't keep
Don't make promises that you can't keep
Don't make promises that you can't keep

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
And why you're saying
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying

Don't make promises that you can't keep
Don't make promises that you can't keep
Don't make promises that you can't keep

Or something like that :)
