Centinela by Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich + Fussible

The story starts, it was a (1)________ November night
She had a flower in her hair, he had his uniform on tight
He patrolled his watch, like nothing (2)________ was wrong
She danced by him with her face as (3)________ 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 (4)________ "of course you know me, I'm (5)________ every year,
but don't you get to close (6)________ I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not (7)________ in (8)________ 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 with his gentle caress.

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just (9)________ away.

And (10)________ happened every year .. every year like clock work.

But let me first tell how it really began

About ten (11)__________ from exactly (12)________ date
A young man was sent (13)________ to fight in a far off place
La Centinela had to say goodbye,
had to leave his home and his lover's pretty eyes

It broke her heart and she (14)____________ him to stay
But not (15)________ her gentle hands could persuade him another way.
He was gone for what seemed to be years,
and his beautiful (16)__________ counted everyday with 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 drowned her sorrow and her soul, the only way she knew how
by throwing 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 what she didn't know, is (17)________ she had (18)__________ wrong
The young man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her untimely death meant that they were now (19)________ alone
Never to dance together (20)__________ or see how old that (21)________ had grown

The (22)________ day he placed flowers by the well
burned candles in the evening (23)______________ he'd been the one that fell
He knew seeing her wouldn't happen with just tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had done for all those years

November 2nd from (24)________ point on
He (25)________ (26)________ he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could dance together, for just 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 (27)________ blow away.
