I saw her runnin' in the morning sun and once again when the day was done
I didn't have to ask her name she gave it out for free
over Murphy's in an old stout glass sharin' stories about our pasts
we found out we were more or less the same what a lucky find
I don't know where I would be if that girl I didn't see
makes me wonder if it was fate or a loaded paradise
and she took my hand to let me know we're together
made me understand what we felt was real
I traded a smile for her smile so tender
as we went in style down the noble trail
half of what I said was less than most of what I really meant
somehow she could see through me she chalked it up to charm
she started talkin' about herself it didn't take too long to tell
I could listen endlessly to everything she says
I don't know where I would be if that girl I didn't see
makes me wonder if it was fate or a loaded paradise
and she took my hand to let me know we're together
made me understand what we felt was real
I traded a smile for her smile so tender
as we went in style down the noble trail
down the noble trail
love's a noble trail
