Brown To Blue Lyrics - Elvis Costello

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
