Centinela by Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich + Fussible

The story starts, it was a late November night
She had a (1)____________ in her hair, he had his uniform on tight
He patrolled his watch, (2)________ nothing else was wrong
She danced by him with her face as pale as dawn

He looked into her eyes and saw nothing there
He said, "excuse me seƱorita, but I don't believe we've had the pleasure"
She said "of course you know me, I'm here (3)__________ year,
but don't you get to close when I'm (4)______________ my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
a pretty little women with an attitude to match"
He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she wanted (5)____________ to do with his (6)____________ caress.

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my (7)________ under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.

And this happened every year .. every year like clock work.

But let me (8)__________ tell how it really began

About ten years from exactly this date
A young man was (9)________ away to fight in a far off place
La Centinela had to say goodbye,
had to leave his home and his lover's (10)____________ eyes

It broke her heart and she wanted him to stay
But not even her (11)____________ hands could persuade him (12)______________ way.
He was gone for what (13)____________ to be years,
and his beautiful lover counted everyday (14)________ tears

November 1st was the last time she cried
thinking he'd be coming home but all she heard was that he'd died.
She was told he was a brave young man
But it was news his young lover just, she just couldn't understand.

So she (15)______________ her (16)____________ and her soul, the only way she (17)________ how
by throwing herself into the well. She thought together, they'd be together in the afterlife.

Won't you (18)__________ (19)________ me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones (20)________ blow away.

But what she didn't know, is that she had (21)__________ wrong
The young man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her untimely death meant (22)________ they were now both alone
Never to (23)__________ together again or see how old that they had grown

The next day he placed flowers by the well
burned candles in the evening wishing he'd been the one (24)________ fell
He (25)________ seeing her wouldn't happen with just tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had done for all (26)__________ years

November 2nd from (27)________ point on
He (28)________ sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could dance together, for (29)________ this one day,
Holding hands with his calavera on El Dia de la muerte

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.
