Uncertain Weather (Genesis)

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
