Centinela by Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich + Fussible

The story starts, it was a (1)________ 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 (2)________ 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 when I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not (3)________ in (4)________ with that,
a pretty little women with an attitude to match"
He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
she wanted little to do (5)________ his gentle caress.

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

And this happened every year .. every (8)________ like (9)__________ work.

But let me first (10)________ how it really began

About ten (11)__________ (12)________ exactly this date
A young man was sent (13)________ 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 (14)__________ her heart and she (15)____________ him to (16)________
But not even her gentle hands could persuade him another way.
He was gone for what seemed to be years,
and his beautiful lover counted (17)________________ with tears

November 1st was the last (18)________ 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 (19)________ 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 (20)__________ the moonlight
All we (21)________ is just today
Until my bones just (22)________ away.

But what she didn't know, is (23)________ she had (24)__________ wrong
The young man did return, only to find that she had fallen
Her untimely death meant that they (25)________ 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 been the one (26)________ fell
He knew seeing her wouldn't happen with just tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had (27)________ for all those years

November 2nd from this point on
He made sure he patrolled until the break of dawn
So they could (28)__________ together, for just 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 (29)________ away.
