It's actually "Angels ON the Balcony," and it's about a theater
"...a distant row" - a row of seats.
"..long retreat" - the aisle down leading from the back to the front,
"..singing on the corner" - this probably refers to Fred Astaire(?) in "Singing in the Rain", an old movie.
Most old theaters had balconies.
Love this song... very moody and ghostly. Evokes images of an empty (maybe abandoned) theater, possibly haunted by ghosts/memories, etc...
