Lyrics:

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, oh
Schemes and dreams small and grand, nothing left to see
Footsteps fading in the sand, oh

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, ooh
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
