Centinela by Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich + Fussible

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

He looked into her eyes and saw (3)______________ 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 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 (4)__________ with me tonite
Hold my (5)________ under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones (6)________ blow away.

And this happened (7)__________ 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 sent away to fight in a far off place
La (9)__________________ had to say goodbye,
had to leave his home and his lover's pretty eyes

It broke her (10)__________ and she wanted him to stay
But not even her gentle hands could persuade him (11)______________ 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 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 (12)______________ her sorrow and her soul, the (13)________ 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 (14)________ blow away.

But what she didn't know, is that she had heard wrong
The young man did return, only to find (15)________ she had fallen
Her untimely (16)__________ meant that they (17)________ now both alone
Never to dance together (18)__________ or see how old (19)________ they had grown

The next day he placed flowers by the (20)________
burned candles in the evening wishing he'd been the one that fell
He (21)________ (22)____________ her wouldn't (23)____________ (24)________ just tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had done for all those years

November 2nd from this point on
He made sure he (25)__________________ until the (26)__________ of dawn
So they could dance together, for just this one day,
Holding hands (27)________ 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 (28)__________ just blow away.
