Artist/Band: Annie Lennox
Lyrics for Song: A Whiter Shade Of Pale
Lyrics for Album: The Annie Lennox Collection [2009]



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 out for another drink

But the waiter brought a tray



And so it was later

As the Miller told his tale

And then a 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 wandered through my playing cards

And would not let her be

I'm one of sixteen vestal virgins

Who were leaving for the coast

And although my eyes were open

They might just as well been closed



And so it was later

As the Miller told his tale

And then a face at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale



And so it was later

As the Miller told his tale

And then a face at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale
