Princess Of The Night (BBC In Concert Hammersmith 1985) - Saxon

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)
