Princess of the Night Lyrics

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 skyShe 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 skySpeeding 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 earsShe 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 skyShe 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 acrossNinety 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 dayShe 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
