Whiter Shade of Pale Songtext
von Santana feat. Steve Winwood

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels ′cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
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 16 vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might damn just 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

So it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
