In China Or A Woman’s Heart
(There Are Places No One Knows)

Words and Music by Kate Wolf

She got it from her captain when he sailed around the horn

Bringing gifts from China to their Oklahoma home

There were fancy silks and carved wood chests from the places he had gone

She kept them all until she died but this was her favorite one

Just a little box all covered with blossoms white as snow

Chinese red and made of brass that he gave her long ago

Like the red dirt Oklahoma hills and the springtime flowering trees

That she kept with all the love they shared inside her memories

She kept it on her dresser filled with gold and silver rings

Necklaces of turquoise beads and other things

It filled her heart with the mystery and the magic of the day

When he gave it to her for her own in his quiet loving way

Ten years they spent together he’d come home and then he’d leave

And one day while she waited he disappeared at sea

No one knew how she’d call his name to the silent rocks and stones

Or how she’d sit and hold that little box so she would not feel alone

Chorus

She never was a dancer or wrote a fancy line

The treasures of her life were the things she left behind

They buried her without them where the prairie grasses grow

In China or a woman’s heart there are places no one knows

Chorus

They buried her without them where the prairie grasses grow

In China or a woman’s heart there are places no one knows.
