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 else was wrong
She (1)____________ 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 every year,
but don't you get to close (2)________ I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
a pretty little women with an (3)________________ to match"
He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she wanted little to do with his (4)____________ caress.

Won't you (5)__________ with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my (6)__________ just blow away.

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

But let me first tell how it really began

About ten years from (8)______________ this date
A young man was sent away 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 (9)__________ her heart and she wanted him to stay
But not even her gentle hands could persuade him another way.
He was (10)________ for what (11)____________ to be years,
and his beautiful lover counted everyday with tears

November 1st was the last (12)________ she (13)__________
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 (14)__________ lover just, she (15)________ couldn't understand.

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

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

But what she didn't know, is that she had heard wrong
The young man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her untimely death (20)__________ that they were now both alone
Never to dance together again or see how old that (21)________ had grown

The next day he (22)____________ (23)______________ by the well
burned candles in the evening wishing he'd been the one that fell
He knew (24)____________ her wouldn't happen with (25)________ tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had done for all (26)__________ years

November 2nd (27)________ this point on
He made sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could dance together, for just (28)________ 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 (29)________ is just today
Until my (30)__________ just blow away.
