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, (1)________ nothing else was wrong
She danced by him (2)________ 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 (3)________ "of course you know me, I'm here every year,
but don't you get to close (4)________ I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
a (5)____________ 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 (6)________ under the moonlight
All we (7)________ 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 (8)__________ from (9)______________ this date
A young man was sent away to fight in a far off place
La Centinela had to say goodbye,
had to (10)__________ his home and his lover's pretty eyes

It broke her heart and she (11)____________ him to stay
But not even her (12)____________ (13)__________ could persuade him another 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 (14)__________
thinking he'd be coming home but all she (15)__________ was that he'd died.
She was told he was a brave young man
But it was news his young lover just, she (16)________ couldn't understand.

So she drowned her sorrow and her soul, the only 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 (17)________ today
Until my bones just blow away.

But what she didn't know, is (18)________ she had heard wrong
The young man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her (19)________________ death meant (20)________ (21)________ were now (22)________ 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 evening wishing he'd been the one that fell
He knew seeing her wouldn't happen (23)________ just tears
So he (24)______________ to wait for her, like she had done for all (25)__________ years

November 2nd from this point on
He made sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So (26)________ could dance together, for (27)________ this 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 have is just today
Until my bones (28)________ (29)________ away.
