| She used to be an ironhorse
|
| twenty years ago
|
| used to bring the mail to me
|
| through the ice and snow
|
| i’ve sat alone and watched her
|
| steaming 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 the writing on the wall
|
| she was a princess of the night
|
| i take a ride across the sky
|
| (sky, sky, sky) |
