Centinela by Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich + Fussible

The story starts, it was a late (1)________________ night
She had a flower in her hair, he had his uniform on tight
He patrolled his watch, (2)________ (3)______________ else was wrong
She (4)____________ by him with her face as pale as dawn

He looked (5)________ 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 (6)________ me, I'm (7)________ every year,
but don't you get to close when I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not (8)________ in love with that,
a pretty (9)____________ women with an attitude to match"
He (10)______________ 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 (11)________ under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones (12)________ blow away.

And this happened every year .. every year like (13)__________ work.

But let me (14)__________ tell how it really began

About ten years (15)________ (16)______________ this date
A young man was (17)________ 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 (18)__________ her heart and she wanted him to stay
But not even her gentle hands could (19)________________ 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 cried
thinking he'd be coming home but all she heard was that he'd died.
She was told he was a brave (20)__________ man
But it was (21)________ 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 (22)______________ 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 just today
Until my (23)__________ just blow away.

But what she didn't know, is that she had (24)__________ wrong
The young man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her untimely death meant that they were now both alone
Never to dance (25)________________ 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 with just tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had done for all those years

November 2nd from this point on
He made sure he patrolled (26)__________ 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 dance with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.
