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 (1)________ 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 (2)______________ we've had the pleasure"
She (3)________ "of course you know me, I'm here (4)__________ year,
but don't you get to close when I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love (5)________ that,
a pretty (6)____________ women (7)________ 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 (8)__________ just (9)________ away.

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

But let me (10)__________ tell how it really began

About ten years from (11)______________ 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 broke her heart and she (12)____________ him to stay
But not even her gentle hands could persuade him (13)______________ way.
He was gone for what (14)____________ to be years,
and his beautiful lover counted everyday with tears

November 1st was the last (15)________ she (16)__________
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 (17)__________ just, she just couldn't understand.

So she drowned her sorrow and her soul, the only way she knew how
by throwing (18)______________ into the well. She thought together, they'd be together in the afterlife.

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

But what she didn't know, is (20)________ she had heard wrong
The young man did return, only to find (21)________ she had fallen
Her untimely death meant (22)________ they were now both alone
Never to dance together again or see how old that (23)________ 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 (24)________ for her, like she had (25)________ for all (26)__________ years

November 2nd from this point on
He made sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could dance together, for (27)________ this one day,
Holding hands with his calavera on El Dia de la muerte

Won't you dance (28)________ me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is (29)________ today
