Lyrics:

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'll 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'll 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'll 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'll take a ride across the sky
Sky, sky, sky
