Uncertain Weather

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

And 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

Schemes and dreams small and grand

Nothing left to see

Footsteps fading in the sand

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
