Princess Of The Night

She used to be an iron horse twenty years ago

Used to bring the mail to me through the ice and snow

I sat alone and watched her steaming through the night

Ninety tons of thunder riding up the sky

She was the princess of the night, go

We saw the writing on the wall

She was the princess of the night

I'd take a ride across the sky

Speeding sparks like lightning, engine working hard

Furnace at the footplate 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 the princess of the night

We saw the writing on the wall

She was the princess of the night, go

I'd take a ride across the sky

She was the princess of the night

We saw the writing on the wall

She was the princess of the night

I'd take a ride across

Ninety tons of thunder riding up the sky

Steaming red hot pistons see the wheels flash by

Hear the whistle blowing steaming down the track

If I ever had my way I'd bring the princess back one day

She was the princess of the night

We saw the writing on the wall

She was the princess of the night

I'd take a ride across the sky, sky, sky, sky
