以下是Cocteau Twins的《Rilkean Heart》的歌詞：
First day of spring
Out on the sill a boulder thrush sings
Through the blue fog of the parlour
Where the coffins lie in rows
Underneath the parlour window
Where the sun never shines
Chorus:
Rilkean heart, won't you tell me your name?
Rilkean heart, I'm your only game
We'll go walking in the cemetry
When the weather's fine
Chalk and cheese, so pale and I so free
With a feather in my cap
We'll be lovers, but not for long
'Til we're on the other side
Oh the secrets that you hide
Chorus:
Rilkean heart, won't you tell me your name?
Rilkean heart, I'm your only game
We'll go walking in the cemetry
When the weather's fine
Oh won't you let me be your one and only now?
Oriental poplars tremble
Underneath a bridal veil of blue smoke
Over your mother's head and on you go
Like a convalescent wooze.
To another time and another place.
(chorus)
It could have been. Could it? We were once. So near and yet so far.
But when my spirits tire, you gently kiss my head.
Then it all comes back again. I close my eyes. The daze is ended. (chorus)
