Centinela by Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich + Fussible

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

He looked into her eyes and saw (3)______________ there
He said, "excuse me señorita, but I don't (4)______________ we've had the pleasure"
She (5)________ "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 (6)________ with that,
a (7)____________ little women with an attitude to match"
He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she (8)____________ little to do (9)________ his gentle caress.

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is (10)________ today
Until my (11)__________ just blow away.

And this happened every year .. every year like clock work.

But let me first tell how it really began

About ten years from (12)______________ this 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 wanted him to stay
But not even her (14)____________ hands could persuade him another way.
He was gone for what (15)____________ 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 drowned her sorrow and her soul, the only way she knew how
by throwing herself (16)________ 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 (17)________ is (18)________ today
Until my (19)__________ (20)________ blow away.

But what she didn't know, is that she had heard wrong
The young man did return, only to find (21)________ she had fallen
Her untimely death meant that they were now both alone
Never to dance together again or see how old that (22)________ 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 happen with just tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had (23)________ for all those years

November 2nd from this point on
He (24)________ (25)________ he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could (26)__________ together, for (27)________ this one day,
Holding hands (28)________ his (29)________________ 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.
