Centinela by Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich + Fussible

The (1)__________ starts, it was a late November night
She had a flower in her hair, he had his uniform on tight
He patrolled his watch, (2)________ (3)______________ else was wrong
She danced by him (4)________ 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 said "of course you know me, I'm here every year,
but don't you get to close (5)________ I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not (6)________ in (7)________ with that,
a pretty little women with an (8)________________ to match"
He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she wanted little to do (9)________ his gentle caress.

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.

And this (10)________________ every year .. every year like (11)__________ work.

But let me first tell how it (12)____________ began

About ten (13)__________ from exactly this date
A young man was sent (14)________ 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 wanted him to stay
But not even her gentle (15)__________ 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 (16)________ time she cried
thinking he'd be coming home but all she (17)__________ was that he'd died.
She was (18)________ he was a brave (19)__________ man
But it was news his young (20)__________ just, she just couldn't understand.

So she drowned her sorrow and her soul, the only way she (21)________ 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 just today
Until my bones just (22)________ away.

But what she didn't know, is that she had heard 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 (23)________________ again or see how old that they had grown

The next day he (24)____________ 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, (25)________ she had done for all those years

November 2nd from this point on
He made sure he patrolled until the (26)__________ of dawn
So (27)________ could dance together, for just (28)________ one day,
Holding hands with his calavera on El Dia de la muerte

Won't you dance with me tonite
Hold my (29)________ under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my (30)__________ just blow away.
