A Whiter Shade of Pale Lyrics
A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Knightsbridge
We skipped the light Fandango
And turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
As the room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
As we called out for another drink
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
She said
There is no reason
But the truth is plain to see
As I wandered through my playing cards
I could not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
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
And so it was that later
