Elliott Yamin Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics

Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics

We skipped the light fandango 

Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor 

I
was feeling kinda seasick 

But the crowd called out for more 

The
room was humming harder 

As the ceiling flew away 

When we called
out for another drink 

And the waiter brought a tray 



And so
it was that later 

As the miller told his tale 

That her face, at
first just ghostly, 

Turned a whiter shade of pale 



You
know, she said there is no reason 

And the truth is plain to see 

But I wandered through my playing cards 

And I would not let her be


One of sixteen vestal virgins 

Who were leaving for the coast 

And although my eyes were open 

They might have just as well been closed




And so it was that later 

As that miller told his tale 

That her face, at first just ghostly, 

Turned a whiter shade of pale




And so it was later 

As the miller told his tale 

That her face, that her face, just so ghostly, 

Turned a whiter shade
of pale 



And so it was, was that later 

As the miller told
his tale 

That her face, at first just ghostly, 

Turned a whiter
shade of pale
