Let Me Know When The Ceasing Stops

In this cruel world I'll take my place
On city busses with daddy's traits
Let me know when the ceasing stops
Broken homes and broken dreams
Broken mirrors from broken feet
Let me know when the ceasing stops

Don't look to see right where you are
When the place you want to be is so way far away

Let me know when the ceasing stops
To let starting start
And love have its part
Let me know when the ceasing stops
To let starters start
And lovers part
Let me know when the ceasing stops

In a town that that is so black and blue
Never sleeping, missing clues
Let me know when the ceasing stops
Momma drinks and daddy hates
To be home at night, so he comes home late
Let me know when the ceasing stops
