The Ring of Gold
Sean O’Hagan
The Ring of Gold is waiting for the penny and the cape
Though the racing days are gone, they saw him by
The Ring of Gold has seen so much, it butts away the rest
From the comfort of the tree it hides behind
Leave the rein on the holding post
Cause the Ring won't need it now
The Ring of Gold is looking through an open door
The Ring of Gold is standing at the bottom of the lane
And the stable girl is never far away
The Ring of Gold remembers every twist and turn that came
With the journey he would make on racing day
Leave the rein on the holding post
Cause the Ring won't mind at all
The Ring of Gold is looking through an open door
