Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics

Whiter Shade Of Pale lyrics

[Procol Harum cover]







We skipped the light fandango 



And turned cartwheels across the floor 



Yeah, I was feeling kind of seasick 



But the crowd called out for more, yeah, oh yeah



And the room was humming harder 



And as the ceiling flew away 



We called out for another drink, oh yeah



The waiter brought the tray 







And so it was that later, yeah



As the miller told his tale 



That her face at first just ghostly 



Turned a whiter shade of pale 







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, oh, oh yeah



One of sixteen vestal virgins 



Who were leaving for the coast 



And oh, and my eyes were open 



They might just as well have been closed 







And so it was that later, oh



As the miller told his tale 



That her face at first just ghostly 



Turned a whiter shade of pale, oh yeah







Oh, and so it was, yeah, oh later



The miller told his tale



Yeah her face was kinda ghostly



Turned a whiter shade of pale, oh yeah
