Procol Harum lyrics : "Whiter Shade Of Pale"

We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of 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
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

------ organ solo ------


She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see

But I wandered through my playing cards
And would 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've 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.... (fade)




She said "I'm home on shore leave"
Though in truth we were at sea

So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, "You must be the mermaid

Who took Neptune for a ride"
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straight 'way died
