We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda 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 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'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

awesome song...i actually love hearing sammy hagar sing it with HSAS...

peace

I love that song!

Which singer do you like best for the song? Annie Lennox or Procal Harum?

Actually...Black Label Society does it...and I do it to...I remade it so I like my version better

Have you ever thought about the meaning behind the song?

Two people, a relationship even. It's a memory. There was a leaving, and a sadness about it...and it sends chills down my spine when I hear it

Yeah, it's a incredible song.

There are sites with people discussing the meaning of the song.
They even mention Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.

Bitter sweet, isn't it?

Yes it is...its just a failed romance...broken hearts...a bit abstract

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
the wolf has a softer side..

is this song you tubable??

Yes. There are two different versions: Annie Lennox and Procal Harum? It's worth listening to both of them.
