And resteless dreams I walked away

When my eyes where stayed by the flash of an ion light
Split the night

Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain

Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
