Princess of the Night

She used to be an ironhorse Twenty years ago Used to bring the mail to me Through the ice & snow I've sat alone & watched her Steamimg through the night Ninety tons of thunder Lighting up the sky She was a princess of the night I saw the writing on the wall She was a princess of the night I take a ride across the sky Speeding,sparks like lightning Engine working hard Furnace on the foot plate Shining in the night Iron striking metal The sound of racing steel It's all I ever wanna hear It's music to my ears She was a princess of the night I saw the writing on the wall She was a princess of the night I take a ride across the sky She was a princess of the night I saw the writing on the wall She was a princess of the night I take a ride across the sky Ninety tons of thunder Lighting up the sky Steaming red hot pistons See the wheels flash by Hear the whistle blowing Streaking down the track If I ever had my way I'd bring the princess back one day She was a princess of the night I saw a writing in the wall She was a princess of the night I take a ride across the sky (sky,sky,sky)
