Van Dyke Parks



Orange crate art was a place to start

Orange crate art was a world apart

Home for two with view of Sonoma

Where there's aroma and heart

Memories of her orange crate art



Orange crate table and a rockin' chair

Barnyard gate waiting some repair

Trust in fate and sweet inspiration

You could go bust to replace

Just what is here by the case



Hear the lonesome locomotion roar

Hobo hop on if you dare

And it rolls where grapes of wrath are stored

Stops on a bracero's prayer



On the dawn of a vintage cruise

Calms the wine of this rendezvous

Room for two in view of Sonoma

Back when Ramona had heart

Memories of her orange crate art
