Elvis Costello - Brown To Blue lyrics

We stood there in the courthouse room so close but far apart You brought along the lawyer and i brought a broken heart The judge pronounced the words the way you wanted him to do You changed your name from brown to jones and mine from brown to blue I couldn't help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor My love, they took away my right to love you anymore My world just seemed to stop as i stood there so close to you You changed your name from brown to jones and mine from brown to blue The judge forgot to tell me how i'd live my life alone What i would do without you after loving you so long He didn't seem to care that i'm still in love with you You changed your name from brown to jones and mine from brown to blue I couldn't help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor My love, they took away my right to love you anymore My world just seemed to stop as i stood there so close to you You changed your name from brown to jones and mine from brown to blue
