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 (2)______________ on tight
He patrolled his watch, like nothing else was wrong
She danced by him with her face as (3)________ as dawn

He looked (4)________ 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 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 (5)________ an attitude to match"
He (6)______________ for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she (7)____________ 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 blow away.

And this happened (8)__________ year .. every year (9)________ clock work.

But let me first tell how it really began

About ten years from (10)______________ this date
A young man was sent away to (11)__________ in a far off place
La Centinela had to say goodbye,
had to (12)__________ his home and his lover's pretty eyes

It broke her heart and she wanted him to stay
But not even her gentle (13)__________ could (14)________________ him another way.
He was gone for (15)________ seemed to be years,
and his beautiful lover (16)______________ 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 (17)____________ and her soul, the only way she (18)________ 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 that she had heard wrong
The young man did return, only to find (19)________ she had fallen
Her untimely (20)__________ meant that they were now both alone
Never to dance together again or see how old that they had grown

The (21)________ day he placed flowers by the well
burned (22)______________ in the evening wishing he'd been the one that fell
He knew seeing her wouldn't happen (23)________ just tears
So he decided to (24)________ for her, like she had (25)________ for all those years

November 2nd from (26)________ point on
He made (27)________ he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could dance together, for just this one day,
Holding (28)__________ 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.
