A Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics - The Everly Brothers Story - Everly Brothers

We tripped the light Fandango 

And 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 

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 playin' 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 have just as well have been closed 

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, "I'm here on a shore leave; 

Though we were miles at sea" 

I pointed out this detail 

And forced her to agree, 

Saying, "You must be the mermaid 

Who took King Neptune for a ride" 

And she smiled at me so sweetly 

That my anger straightway died. 

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
