A day of uncertain weather

Captured in a frame forever

A face in a faded photograph



He must have had a life

Maybe with a family

People who meant everything to him



A sinner, a saint, a soldier

Caught up in a war he never

Had a chance to start or build a life



All gone long ago

Leaving no trace

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

To become just a face without a name

Leaving no trace

Disappearing like smoke in the wind



Hopes and fears important plans

Forgotten memories

Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh

Schemes and dreams small and grand

Nothing left to see

Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh



Someone who cast a shadow

Maybe just a lazy man

Doesn't make much difference now it's true



A day of uncertain weather

Captured in a frame forever

A face in a faded photograph



All gone long ago

Leaving no trace

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

To become just a face without a name

One more to add to the total

Of those never heard of again



Yes he's gone

Just a face without a name

Leaving no trace

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

All gone

Just a face without a name

Leaving no trace

Disappearing like smoke in the wind
