Don't Be

Getting home at the end of the day
I only want to hear one voice
I only want one kiss
but I'll never even get close
I'm praying I can make it better
state my case and push harder than ever
Hopefully you'll go ahead,
maybe you'll take that leap

and I hope I won't have to bury you
like we all buried Annabell Lee
Don't be, Annabell Lee

I've got nowhere to go this weekend
can I come to visit you?
We'll have a grand time I promise
and maybe with you I'll spend everyday
Hopefully you'll say yes
maybe I'll fall in love

and I hope I won't have to leave you
like Ernesto left Chichina
Don't be, Chichina.

I've got a big day ahead of me
a revolution, a passion that never ends
a new love, a flame that never dies
can I call when it's all over?
If I survive will I have you when I come home?
Maybe we'll get lucky,
and I won't die tonight.

and I hope I won't have to fight you
like I fought the traitor Mari
Don't be the traitor Mari.

This old fight will have me buried before I'm old
and what happens then?
Will you perserve your strength?
or will you carry on my fight?
Stand up proud with a title like 'comrade'
and a rifle you've never used before
Hopefully you won't die for this like me
Maybe, you'll win the war began for what I believe

and I hope I won't have to lose you
just like I lost Rachel Anne
Don't be, Rachel Anne
I hope I won't have to bury you
like we all buried Annabell Lee
Don't be, Annabell Lee
