I

This is my version of what Bean and Petra's relationship should have looked like. Normally I am a stickler for cannon but hey why not be freer for once. I hope people will enjoy it even since it is short. : )

-Balladeer for the Dead


I was two and four years old

when I met the woman I would call my own.

Twenty-two grand kids now growing old

in that house that your brother bought ya.

On the summer day when I proposed

I made that wedding ring from dentist gold

and I asked her father, but her daddy said, "No

you can't marry my daughter".

She and I went on the run.

don't care about religion.

I'm gonna marry the woman I love

down by the Turkish border.

She was Petra Arkania

and I was Julian Delphinki

she took my name and then we were one

down by the Turkish border.

Well, met her in battle in the third invasion

and she was working on a soldier's war,

never had I seen such aim and beauty before.

The moment that I saw her I loved her.

Pet was my yellow rose

and we got married wearing borrowed clothes.

We got nine children now growing old

five sons and four daughters.

She and I went on the run

don't care about religion

I'm gonna marry the woman I love

down by the Turkish border.

She was Petra Arkania

and I was Julian Delphinki

she took my name and then we were one

down by the Turkish border.

Fromher snow white streak in her jet black hair

over sixty years I've been loving her.

Now we're sat by the fire in our old armchairs

you know Petra, I adore ya.

From a ex boy, made near Roderdam

I always worried about the Hedgemon and Congress.

'cause I found my heart upon the highlands ground

there's no difference, I assure ya.

She and I went on the run

don't care about religion

I'm gonna marry the woman I love

down by the Turkish border.
