天元未落 · The Unplayed Stone at Heaven's Center

A single white stone waits at tengen on an unfinished black-lacquer Go board after the rain. 「天元未落」 keeps its world close to one quiet study: delicate konghou notes leave space around a breath-soft female vocal, while the stalled game becomes a choice to let the absent beloved return to the same board. Best for a quiet dawn, late-night reading, or any hour that suits a restrained and unresolved 古風 ballad.

[Intro / 引子] 雨歇西窗白 乌木静无声 一子悬天元 不见落指人

[Verse 1 / 主歌一] 昔共分黑白 君常让半枰 今枰人不语 竹露落三声

[Chorus / 副歌] 天元一子未曾落 君影先随竹露清 一枰黑白无人收 我守残更到天明

[Verse 2 / 主歌二] 旧谱墨痕浅 残局向西隅 白子临天元 犹待君回落

[Chorus / 副歌] 天元一子未曾落 君影先随竹露清 一枰黑白无人收 我把长宵分与卿

[Bridge / 过渡] 君言胜负皆闲事 且看窗前竹影移 今朝始识枰中意 一子留人不肯离

[Final Chorus / 尾副歌] 天元一子未曾落 君影先随竹露清 我将孤枰留小阁 待君重问旧输赢

[Outro / 尾声] 天元犹未落 竹露又三声 黑白依然在 小阁候君来
