Words & Music by Don McLean 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
