"a Ring of Gold"

Tired of waiting for that pot of gold...
But to the devil I won't be sold...
I'm chasing rainbows through the tree's...
To catch just one will be enough for me...
Just one cookie, not the whole jar...
For me to taste and hold afar...
To build a castle from dust and sand...
I'll throw it up to a dream and let it land...
A ring of gold to surround my soul...
To hold my thoughts and dreams and behold....
