寒砧照月 · Moonlight on the Cold Fulling Block

A guqin-led 古風 song of moonlit longing, set in a late-autumn courtyard where the sound of a fulling block carries winter cloth toward a distant frontier. Low xiao breath and light pipa replies leave space around the vocal line, while the lyric keeps to one night object: cloth beaten under the moon, not yet sent, already holding frost.

[引子] 月出西樓薄 砧聲過短牆 一杵霜初落 千里在衣裳

[主歌一] 素練臨階白 秋風入小堂 未寄關山字 先裁夜半涼

[副歌] 寒砧照月長 聲聲到遠方 願君披此雪 猶識舊羅香 寒砧照月長 不語淚成行 雁影過簾外 天涯共一霜

[主歌二] 燈殘花影瘦 針冷玉奩旁 夢逐胡笳斷 回看露滿床

[橋段] 若問歸期近 青苔掩舊廊 但將今夜月 縫入征人裳

[副歌] 寒砧照月長 聲聲到遠方 願君披此雪 猶識舊羅香 寒砧照月長 不語淚成行 雁影過簾外 天涯共一霜

[尾聲] 砧歇銀河淡 簾開桂子香 一襟秋未寄 明月滿空房
