A Whiter Shade Of Pearl Lyrics

A Whiter Shade Of Pale



We skipped the light fandango
Turned
cartwheels cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called
out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When
we called out for another drink
But the waiter brought a tray

*And so
it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just
ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

You said there is no
reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wander through my playing
cards
And would not let it be
I'm one of the sixteen Vestal
Virgins
Who are leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were
open
They might just as well been closed

(*Repeat)

A whiter
shade of pale
Turned a whiter shade of pale
A whiter shade of pale
