Wuthering Heights, written and composed by Kate Bush, was inspired by the novel of the same name by Emily Brontë. Bush first read the novel in her teen years and was moved by its story. After dreaming about the book, she wrote the lyrics and music within just a few hours. Released in 1978, the song became a major hit, defining Bushs career and becoming one of her most recognizable singles.
Out on the windey, windy moors we'd roll and fall in green, You had a temper, like my jealousy, too hot, too greedy How could you leave me, when I needed to possess you? I hated you, I loved you too
Bad dreams in the night They told me I was going to lose the fight Leave behind my Wuthering Wuthering Wuthering Heights Heathcliff, It's me, Cathy, I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in-a-your window Heathcliff, It's me, Cathy, I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in-a-your window
Oh, it gets dark, it gets lonely, on the other side from you I pine a lot, I find a lot falls through without you I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff, my one dream, my only master
Too long I roam in the night I'm coming back to his side to put it right I'm coming home to Wuthering Wuthering Wuthering Heights Heathcliff, It's me, your Cathy, I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in-a-your window Heathcliff, It's me, your Cathy, I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in-a-your window
Ooh, let me have it, let me grab your soul away You know it's me, Cathy Heathcliff, It's me, Cathy, I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in-a-your window Heathcliff, It's me, Cathy, I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in-a-your window
