In China Or A Woman’s Heart
(There Are Places No One Knows)
Words and Music by Kate Wolf

Intro
Just a little box all covered with blossoms white as snow
Chinese red and made of brass that he gave her long ago

(Band enters)
Like the red dirt Oklahoma hills and the springtime flowering trees
That she kept with all the love they shared inside her memories

Verse 1
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

Chorus
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

Solo Break

Verse 2
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

Insert Chorus

Solo break

Verse 3
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

Insert Chorus

Ending
They buried her without them where the prairie grasses grow
In China or a woman’s heart there are places no one knows
