Lyrics of
Wuthering Heights

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
