lyrics

A young girl came to me
her fortune to see
She sat down in my parlor and looked up at me
Nervous and anxious she waited patiently
and finally with anguish she cried out to me

Chorus:
Oh Jocelyn, Jocelyn please help me see (What do you see)
I want to know when a love (man) will come to me
I prayed to God I sang to Jesus
No one seemed to hear
Oh Jocelyn, when will my love (man) appear

I looked into my crystal, the girl looking at me
I caressed the ball intently as she waited nervously
Her reflection in the ball, her eyes so sweet and bright
Her lips full and rosy twitched left to right
She said

Chorus

The crystal ball not working, I laid out Tarot cards
the Two of Cups came forward to tease my fragile heart
the Lovers Card lay waiting, I gasped and closed my eyes
The girl leaning forward, begged me one more time

Chorus

I looked at her in silence, into her young green eyes
So eager and so wanting, I let out a waning sigh

Chorus
Oh Jocelyn, Jocelyn, what do you see?
when will my Prince Charming come to me?
etc...

I do not see a man in your future at all
Instead I see a woman beautiful and tall
She will love you just the same, maybe even more
She wears a ruffled dress and looks into crystal balls!

Oh, young girl, young girl this is what I see
I am you Princess Charming and you have come to me
I prayed to Isis* sang to Pan and here you are at last
Oh young girl give this love a chance


*Egyptian goddess of love
