My most recent artwork – for sale at Hallgreen Castle.
Princess of the Night 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 sky
She 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
Inspired by lyrics from Saxon
