A Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics
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
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
One of the 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
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
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And I would not let her be
One of the sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Love this song beyond belief.... At least the ATB Remix. Great song, and it has meaning to it.
I've listened to both original and cover versions, they're all great. good song & magnificent voice
I've always like this song but I don't quite get what it means. I love Sarah's videoclip of this song.
