Could you explain the part in quotes?

Many of the houses were in vigil throughout those dark hours. "Soft lights shone through windows along the the length of each street."

In that sentence, does the phrase starting with "along" relate to the verb? I didn't really understand that sentence.

Thanks.

I guess it means windows of the houses along the streets. One more question: do soft lights shine through windows into the night or into the houses?

Vic Z From the houses into the night.
Thank you. By the way, I just saw that later on it says there are streetlamps. So, do you think the light still shines from the houses into the night?

The sense of the 2nd sentence is: "Along the length of each street, there were soft lights visible through the windows of the houses that were in vigil."
