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 (1)__________________ 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 nothing there
He said, "excuse me señorita, but I don't believe we've had the pleasure"
She said "of course you know me, I'm here (2)__________ year,
but don't you get to close (3)________ I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
a (4)____________ 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 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 exactly this date
A young man was (5)________ away to fight in a far off place
La Centinela had to say goodbye,
had to (6)__________ his home and his lover's pretty eyes

It broke her heart and she wanted him to (7)________
But not even her gentle hands (8)__________ persuade him another way.
He was gone for (9)________ seemed to be years,
and his (10)__________________ lover counted everyday with tears

November 1st was the last time she (11)__________
thinking he'd be (12)____________ home but all she heard was that he'd died.
She was (13)________ he was a brave young man
But it was (14)________ his young lover just, she just couldn't understand.

So she drowned her sorrow and her soul, the only way she knew how
by (15)________________ (16)______________ 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 have is just today
Until my bones (18)________ blow 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 (19)________________ death meant that (20)________ were now both alone
Never to dance together again or see how old that they had grown

The next day he placed flowers by the well
burned candles in the (21)______________ (22)______________ 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 made sure 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 (24)__________ (25)________ me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my (26)__________ just (27)________ away.
