Sarah Brightman Lyrics

Album: Unknown

A Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics

We skipped the light Fandango

 And turned cartwheels across 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

 

 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 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
