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...
