| Information for song "Song of the childless" | | | | |  | The infertility that Kallmann`s syndrome brought me is in fact a blessing, but I didn`t always know this. Early on I lamented - but this song was the catharsis, crystallizing both my feelings at that time and the burgeoning realisation that my "children" are my musical compositions... |  Play

| | Song Story | Song composed and sung some time around 1984, recently retrieved from audio cassette.
(Since that time I have found that some people with Kallmann`s syndrome can become parents, if given a course of various hormones and a lot of luck, but I have got so used to childlessness that I embrace it thoroughly... it is part of me).
| | Song Lyrics | Learn this my child, who never hears my word
Your luck is out, you are but but a poem deaf to change
You are a romantic ramble on "absurd"
round which the childless brain desires to range
Hear this my daughter, blind to loveliness
Your love is mine, untouchable, unknown to all
Save to a song befitting her distress
WHom Sappho loved but answered not her call
See this my eunuch, watching others` joy
Your luck was in, your luck was in
You threw it far away, too far away for its return
Save to another and another boy
while I look on, unmoved as from a star
Taste this my tears grown cold
Resigned and pure
Your love is his
I know not whose nor do I care
Yet love I would, and yet cannot be sure
that another`s love could now be mine to share
Warm this my heart
These strings beget my child
Their luck is in
Their love is mine
So close, my son!
My daughter`s breath sings
Through my fingers styled
Sings to herself
All other children shun
