Lyrics
[[Sparse guzheng motif (no rhythm), solo Xiao tone swirls, Erhu drone held like mist]]
[Verse 1]
水聲浮影後，簾動夢初沉
庭前留晚照，心不等餘音
君名早忘卻，月色照無痕
花謝人不問，雲深路自斟
[Verse 2 – xiquang style]
「誰在水邊，唱那舊～曲…？
…不為誰～聽～…」
[Verse 3]
孤音如水靜，影落空山深
念起未有聲，心止若浮塵
我唱非為憶，你聽非為真
留白如畫卷，聲過不問人
[Instrumental Solo – Guzheng tremolo over silent erhu swell]
[[No beat – drifting dissonant ruan and reversed xiao FX]]
[Verse 4]
舊字懸殘頁，聲慢不傷神
燈影還如舊，光冷不染痕
情非欲留戀，語亦不求聞
行雲無著處，落墨也無痕
[Verse 5]
「…聲…已～遠……
夢…不～回……」
[Verse 6 – fully sung as Kunqu whisper-style ballad]
歌聲載水沉，花影淡無根
塵中若有念，也是夢中人
不悲不喜語，不問來與行
唱罷聲猶在，夢裡有孤 音...................
[Outro – disintegration sequence]
[[Guzheng harmonic gliss + silence]]
