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 else was wrong
She (1)____________ by him with her face as pale as dawn

He looked into her eyes and saw nothing there
He said, "excuse me seƱorita, but I don't (2)______________ we've had the pleasure"
She said "of course you know me, I'm (3)________ every year,
but don't you get to (4)__________ when I'm (5)______________ my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in (6)________ with that,
a pretty (7)____________ women with an attitude to match"
He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she (8)____________ 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 (9)__________ (10)________ blow away.

And this happened every year .. every year like (11)__________ work.

But let me first tell how it really began

About ten (12)__________ from exactly 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 (13)____________ eyes

It broke her heart and she wanted him to stay
But not even her gentle hands could persuade him another way.
He was (14)________ for (15)________ 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 (16)________ 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 into the well. She thought together, they'd be together in the afterlife.

Won't you (17)__________ with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we (18)________ is just today
Until my bones just blow away.

But what she didn't know, is that she had heard wrong
The young man did return, (19)________ to find (20)________ she had fallen
Her untimely death (21)__________ that (22)________ were now both alone
Never to dance (23)________________ 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 (24)________ for her, (25)________ she had done for all (26)__________ years

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