A Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics - Medusa - Annie Lennox

(brooker/reid) 

We skipped the light fandango 

Turned cartwheels cross the floor 

I was feeling kind of seasick 

The crowd called out for more 

The room was humming harder 

As the ceiling flew away 

When we called outfor another drink 

But the waiter brought a tray 

*and so it was later 

As the miller told his tale 

That her face at first just ghostly 

Turned a whiter shade of pale 

You said there is no reason 

And the truth is plain to see 

But I wander through my playing cards 

And would not let it be 

I'm one of the sixteen virgins 

Who are leaving for the coast 

And although my eyes were open 

They might just as well been closed 

(*repeat) 

A whiter shade of pale 

Turned a whiter shade of pale 

A whiter shade of pale
