A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away.
The scorching heat of June,
The scorching heat of June,
Autumn moonlight, a pale rune.
The scorching heat of June,
Autumn moonlight, a pale rune.
The sobbing monsoon's sigh,
The sobbing monsoon's sigh,
The inner vessel, dry.
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away.
The world compressed in bars,
The world compressed in bars,
Yet the soul, a frantic star.
The world compressed in bars,
Yet the soul, a frantic star.
From earth to the heavens above,
From earth to the heavens above,
Freedom's anthem, a soaring dove.
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away.
Eyes that gaze down the road,
Eyes that gaze down the road,
Counting moments, the days bestowed.
Eyes that gaze down the road,
Counting moments, the days bestowed.
Will he ever return,
Will he ever return,
The beloved, the heart's yearn?
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away.
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away,
A year has slipped away.
