| 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) |
