Centinela by Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich + Fussible

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

He looked into her (2)________ and saw nothing there
He said, "excuse me seƱorita, but I don't believe we've had the pleasure"
She said "of course you (3)________ me, I'm (4)________ every year,
but don't you get to close when I'm dancing 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 little to do (5)________ his gentle caress.

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my (6)________ under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.

And this happened (7)__________ (8)________ .. every year like clock work.

But let me first tell how it really began

About ten (9)__________ from exactly this date
A young man was sent (10)________ to fight in a far off place
La Centinela had to say goodbye,
had to (11)__________ his home and his lover's pretty eyes

It (12)__________ her heart and she wanted him to stay
But not even her (13)____________ hands could (14)________________ him another way.
He was gone for what seemed to be years,
and his beautiful lover counted everyday with tears

November 1st was the last time she cried
thinking he'd be (15)____________ (16)________ but all she (17)__________ was that he'd died.
She was told he was a brave (18)__________ man
But it was news his young lover just, she just couldn't understand.

So she (19)______________ her sorrow and her soul, the only way she knew how
by (20)________________ herself into the well. She thought together, they'd be together in the afterlife.

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.

But (21)________ she didn't know, is that she had heard wrong
The young man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her (22)________________ death meant that they were now (23)________ alone
Never to dance 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 that fell
He knew seeing her wouldn't (24)____________ with just tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had (25)________ for all those years

November 2nd from this point on
He made sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could dance together, for just this one day,
Holding hands (26)________ his calavera on El Dia de la muerte

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my (27)________ under the moonlight
All we have is (28)________ today
Until my bones just blow away.
