Gather my clothes from the bottom drawer
Hang my fiddle up on the wall
Lay the mandolin in the mandolin case
Take my jacket from the bedroom door
And hang it out in the hall
Tomorrow they're moving me to Providence Place
We've always walked in circles
Destinations never change
I've known this place for ages
But I can't recall its name
Dear old friend let's not pretend
What's left of our youth gone
And vanished away like winter in May
My dear friend good things will end
I guess we'd better say so long
It's many a stage we've sang and played
We've always played in circles
That seldom ever change
I've known this tune for ages
But I can't recall its name
We've always talked in circles
Conversations never change
I've known you for ages
But I can't recall your name
