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 danced by him (1)________ her face as pale as dawn

He looked into her eyes and saw (2)______________ there
He said, "excuse me seƱorita, but I don't believe we've had the pleasure"
She said "of course you know me, I'm here every year,
but don't you get to close when I'm (3)______________ my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
a pretty little women with an attitude to match"
He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she wanted (4)____________ to do (5)________ his gentle caress.

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my (6)________ (7)__________ the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.

And this happened every year .. every year like (8)__________ work.

But let me first tell how it really began

About ten years (9)________ exactly this date
A (10)__________ man was sent away to (11)__________ in a far off place
La Centinela had to say goodbye,

It broke her heart and she wanted him to stay
But not even her gentle hands could persuade him (12)______________ way.
He was (13)________ for what seemed to be years,
and his (14)__________________ lover counted everyday (15)________ tears

November 1st was the last (16)________ she cried
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 lover just, she just couldn't understand.

So she drowned her (17)____________ and her soul, the only way she knew how
by (18)________________ herself into the well. She (19)______________ together, they'd be together in the afterlife.

Won't you dance (20)________ me tonite

But what she didn't know, is that she had heard wrong
The (21)__________ man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her untimely death meant that (22)________ were now both alone
Never to dance together (23)__________ or see how old that they had grown

The (24)________ day he (25)____________ flowers by the well
burned candles in the evening wishing he'd been the one that fell
He (26)________ 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 (27)________ sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could dance together, for (28)________ 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.
