[Intro]
A day of uncertain weather, captured in a frame forever
A face in a faded photograph

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
