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 (1)__________________ his watch, (2)________ nothing else was wrong
She danced by him (3)________ her face as pale as dawn

He looked (4)________ 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 when I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
a pretty little women with an (5)________________ 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 (6)________ is just today
Until my bones just blow away.

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

But let me first tell how it really began

About ten years from exactly this date
A young man was sent (7)________ 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 hands could persuade him another way.
He was gone for (8)________ seemed to be years,
and his beautiful lover (9)______________ everyday (10)________ tears

November 1st was the last (11)________ she (12)__________
thinking he'd be coming (13)________ but all she (14)__________ was (15)________ he'd died.
She was (16)________ 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 (18)________ 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 (19)________ under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones (20)________ blow away.

But what she didn't know, is (21)________ 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 together again or see how old that they had grown

The next day he placed flowers by the well
burned candles in the (22)______________ wishing he'd (23)________ the one (24)________ fell
He (25)________ seeing her wouldn't happen with just tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had (26)________ for all those years

November 2nd from (27)________ point on
He made sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they 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 hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.
