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 with her face as pale as dawn

He (1)____________ (2)________ 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 know me, I'm here every year,
but don't you get to close (3)________ I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
a pretty little (4)__________ with an attitude 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 have is just today
Until my bones just (5)________ away.

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

But let me (6)__________ tell how it really began

About ten years from (7)______________ 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 pretty eyes

It broke her heart and she (8)____________ him to stay
But not even her (9)____________ hands could persuade him (10)______________ way.
He was gone for what seemed to be years,
and his (11)__________________ lover counted (12)________________ 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 (13)________ he was a brave young man
But it was news his (14)__________ 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 dance with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.

But what she didn't know, is (15)________ she had heard wrong
The young man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her untimely (16)__________ meant that (17)________ (18)________ 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 evening wishing he'd (19)________ the one that fell
He (20)________ seeing her wouldn't happen with (21)________ tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had (22)________ for all those years

November 2nd (23)________ this point on
He (24)________ sure he (25)__________________ until 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 (26)__________ with me tonite
Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.
