Come Inside
Music and lyrics by Tracey Leanne Lutz
Background
    This song was written in 1999. It makes reference to a night when there was a power outage in Ladner and Alan and I cuddled on the couch and talked. I really enjoy this song, and use references to flames, much like Jewel does in many of her songs.

Lyrics
Verse 1: Outside the wind blows through the trees.
Outside the flowers freeze.
Outside the earth is moving but I am still.
You are outside. Won’t you come inside and play with me?

Verse 2: The flame on my candle licks the sides of my pretty candle holder.
I think of the time when the power was out and I held you in my arms.
I blow out the flame in my pretty candle holder.
You are outside. Won’t you come inside and play with me?
Won’t you come inside and play?

Alternate verse: The sun is shining for me.
  My flame is burning for you.
  I am sorry you exist on the outside.
  I’ll give you the key if you would come inside and play with me.

Verse 3: The wind stops blowing and my heart is standing still.
I look in your eyes and wonder if I will
Love you forever and ever more.
I open the door to go outside and play with you.
I open my heart for you so come inside and play.
I love you. Won’t you come inside and stay with me?
