What is "Dreeeem Street Rose" about?

The wonderful booklet that comes with the Songbook box set

PLease note my copy was autographed as shown on November 11th 1999: the first time ever I got to meet Gordon (at Massey Hall)
This booklet contains Gord's own description for all 88 songs
of DSR he said:-
"Damon Runyan wrote a short story about a poor lady in New York City, and I took its title and built the song around it"
I intended giving the link to the section on the Rhino site that reproduced nearly all the text from the booklet but although they still have a basic "Songbook" page (see below) up the links to the text pages and probably the pages themselves have disappeared.
So for anybody who does not own songbook the rhino site at:- http://www.rhino.com/store/ProductDe...o?Number=75802
has short clips of every one of the 88 tracks in both Real Player and Quicktime versions
