Don McLean - Sister Fatima
Lyrics:
The spirit of Fatima still rules the Earth
She knows your future, she knows what it's worth
Sister Fatima has God-given powers
And on 42nd Street a shop that sells flowers
Is her palace, come and be healed
She knows all your business, your health and your ills
She'll counsel your weddings, divorces and wills
For full restoration five dollars an hour
And with each consultation a free holy flower
And if she likes you, well you can have two
And I came from nowhere like you and your friend
My searching and wandering went on without end
My future was dim, my spirit was crushed
In one sacred moment my questions were hushed
I'm a servant of fate in this garden of truth
A humble recruit of the taffeta booth
Where all things are known but few are revealed
Where sins are forgotten and sickness is healed
For five dollars the flower is free

UNDERSTATED, UNDER-RATED LITTLE GEM. MY FUTURE WAS DIM WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG... BUT NOW THE FLOWER IS FREE.
-
What an amazing, silk voice.
-
My kids loved this when they were little (and still do!). They would argue about the line, "For five dollars, the flower is free..." Great song!

A great song. The moment when the organ comes in is a stroke of a genius.

Great God! I finally found my lost song that lingers in my mind since my childhood days.

@rozniy I like the "whimsicality" of it.

One of the songs I really like... a bit whimsical, but so nice...
