lyrics

Timothy Weaver woke up on a Sunday and recognized something had died
Timothy Weaver was thinking about all the years he had been with his wife

Well, Timothy's wife was a pharmacist down at the Walgreens across from the mall
Timothy Weaver was wondering if he had ever loved her at all

the Weaver's had met back in '73 back when Barnaby Jones was still new
Timothy married Annette 'cause he thought that Annette was the best he could do

the years they went by and then Timothy realized he'd closed off whole worlds to himself
Timothy Weaver woke up on a Sunday and left her to fend for herself
-
with time
values change
options fade away

sometimes the price
don't get paid
till it's too late
-
Timothy Weaver went off to Atlanta to look for a life he'd enjoy
Timothy Weaver decided to see if the Coke Company would employ

Timmy found out that the job for his skill set
was working the mailroom downstairs

Timothy's mailbox was quite full of bills
so he ended up laboring there

He couldn't find love in his time in Atlanta
He couldn't start where he'd left off

He couldn't explain to the people he talked to
why Annette and their life weren't enough

Timothy Weaver was now independent
and free of his loyal dead weight

but Timothy hadn't felt self-confidence
since that day when he closed Annette's gate
-
with time values change
options fade away

sometimes the price don't get paid
till it's too late
-
Tim never fell past the point of return
he had made a good wage all his life

But Timothy always would wonder about
what his life would be like with his wife

so Timothy called up Annette and he found out
she still worked across from the mall

she'd met a sweet guy and they'd married eachother
their child would be four in the fall

Timothy warmed up a bath for himself
he had had hard day at his work

he sat there and wondered about his Annette
and if he should have settled for her

then Timothy wondered if she'd been the burden
he realized it might have been him

Timothy's landlord woke up that next Sunday
to hear that his tenant had died
