A day of uncertain weather
Captured in a frame forever
A face in a faded photographHe 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 lifeAll gone, long ago
Leavin' no trace
Disappearin' like smoke in the wind
To become just a face without a name
Leavin' no trace
Disappearin' like smoke in the windHopes and fears important plans
Forgotten memories
Footsteps fadin' in the sand, ohh oh
Schemes and dreams, small and grand
Nothin' left to see
Footsteps fadin' in the sand, ohh ohSomeone 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 photographAll gone, long ago, ooh
Leavin' no trace
Disappearin' 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 againYes, he's gone
Just a face without a name
Leavin' no trace
Disappearin' like smoke in the wind
All gone
Just a face without a name
Leavin' no trace
Disappearin' like smoke in the wind
