Sundays in Laval
words and music by Rosemarie Austin
On a crisp autumn day you walk where you please
As you stare at Avesnieres past the gold line of trees
Sundays in Laval are for catching up
A long conversation and a deep coffee cup
Extra sugar
I'm writing a post to the ones I love the most
A little snapshot of the town
Just sayin' I wish you were around
Twenty grams to send it over to the Pacific coast
And the first thing you may sight is the castle on your right
Built about a thousand years ago
Let me say before you cower at the sight of such a tower
Well it takes away your fear of heights
Wish you hadn't any sight
No they don't make anything like it on the Pacific coast
And in the center of the photo is the river Mayenne
It'll make you fall in love all over again
With your lover by your side & a warm baguette
Will make you forget about
All the quarrels & cares
The poisonous words the snarls & snares
Take a picnic on the shore
Catch your reflection
The water is the same, though you're miles & miles from home
You're just in a different frame of place
And you're enjoying this new space
Sundays in Laval are for catching up
A long conversation and a deep coffee cup
Have you been sitting this whole time
Just wanting to stand up?
Well let's take a walk along the Mayenne
Pass that fortress once again
On a crisp autumn day you walk where you please
As you stare at Avesnieres past the gold line of trees
