The Hesitations - A Whiter Shade Of Pale lyrics

rate me

We skipped the light Fandango<br />

Turned cartwheels cross the floor<br />

I was feeling kind of seasick<br />

The crowd called out for more<br />

<br />

The room was humming harder<br />

As the ceiling flew away<br />

When we called out for another drink<br />

The waiter brought a tray<br />

<br />

And so it was that later<br />

As the miller told his tale<br />

That her face, at first just ghostly<br />

Turned a whiter shade of pale<br />

<br />

She said there is no reason<br />

And the truth is plain to see<br />

But I wandered through<br />

My playing cards<br />

Would not let her be<br />

<br />

One of sixteen vestal virgins<br />

Who were leaving for the coast<br />

And although my eyes were open<br />

They might just as well been closed<br />

<br />

And so it was that later<br />

As the miller told his tale<br />

That her face, at first just ghostly<br />

Turned a whiter shade of pale<br />

<br />

And so it was that later...
