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 else was wrong
She danced by him with her face as pale as dawn
He looked her eyes and saw nothing there
He said, "excuse me señorita, but I don't believe we've had the pleasure"
She said "of 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 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 with me tonite
Hold my under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.
And this happened every year .. 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 away to 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 what seemed to be years,
and his beautiful counted everyday 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 he was a brave young man
But it was news his young lover just, she 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
my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
my bones just away.
But she didn't know, is that she had heard wrong
The man did return, only to that she had fallen
Her untimely death meant that they were now both alone
Never to dance again or see how old that they had grown
The next day he placed flowers by the well
candles in the evening wishing he'd been the one that fell
He seeing her wouldn't happen with tears
So he decided to wait for her, like she had done for all those years
November 2nd from this point on
He made sure he the break of dawn
So they could dance together, for just this one day,
Holding hands his calavera on El Dia de la muerte
Won't you dance with me tonite
my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.
