Peter Frampton (born 22 April 1950 in Beckenham, Kent) is a British musician, best known today for his solo work in the mid-1970s as an "arena rocker". He originally became famous, however, as a member of The Herd and became a teen idol in Britain. He then worked with Steve Marriott (of the Small Faces) in Humble Pie, as well as on albums by Harry Nilsson, Jerry Lee Lewis, and George Harrison. His solo debut was 1972's Wind of Change. He gained international fame in 1976 when his much-loved live album, Frampton Comes Alive! was released.

The Crying Clown Lyrics

Peter Frampton

Don't you see?
It wasn't meant to be
Keep on till you die
When lying down
We kick the crying clown
And there's never a thought
Of how he lifts a frown

The longer you love
The longer you live
The stronger you feel
The more you can give

It's dying like sand, sand in a sieve
Where is the time to remain?

Well don't forget
The day you ever met
Trying to believe
It wasn't wasted time
You sipping gin and wry
You had to walk away
It haunts you every day

The longer you love
The longer you live
The stronger you feel
The more you can give

Floating away, day in the rain
The lady you love can't sustain

The longer you love
The longer you live
The stronger you feel
The more you can give

We're dying like sand, sand in a sieve
Where is the time to remain?

The longer you love
The longer you live
The stronger you feel
The more you can give

Floating away, day in the rain
The lady you love can't sustain

The longer you love
The longer you live
The stronger you feel
The more you can give

You're floating away, day in the rain
The lady you love will sustain
