Wuthering Heights Lyrics
Out on the wiley, windy moors, we'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy, too hot, too gready
How could you leave me, when I needed to possess you
I hated you, I loved you too
Bad dreams in the night
You told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my
Wuthering, Wuthering, Wuthering Heights
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Ooh, it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the 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, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Ooh, let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Ooh, let me have it, let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
So cold
You had a temper like my jealousy, too hot, too gready
How could you leave me, when I needed to possess you
I hated you, I loved you too
You told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot falls through without you
I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff
My one dream, my only master
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Ooh, let me have it, let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
So cold

For the literary challanged, "Wuthering Heights" is a novel by Emily Bronte published in the mid 1800's. The story tells of the doomed relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff. Early in the tale, it's suggested Catherines spirit still roams Wuthering Heights, knocking at the windows, trying to get in.
Good material for a song, but it sounds a bit too pop for my tastes. There's nothing haunting or lost here. The lyrics require much more care and treatment. Curious what another singers take would song like.
This song is by Kate Bush, not Pat Benatar.
Don't know 'bout Kate Bush, but I do know Pat had this on her 1980 album 'Crimes of Passion'. One of my favorites from that LP.
I just read the wikipedia plot of "Wuthering Heights". So with that in mind, one thing that seems a bit off, maybe, though I never read the book or watched any of the movies, is that the name Cathy is the name of the daughter of Catherine and Edgar Linton.
Heathcliff was in love with Catherine.
Perhaps in the book/movie, Catherine was also called Cathy for short, but Cathy is the name of Catherine's daughter.
Yeah, it's definitely a Kate Bush original. The song 'Wuthering Heights' first appeared on the 1978 album 'The Kick Inside'. And this song is brilliant... what's amazing is Kate Bush wrote the song only after having seen the 1939 film with Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier - never once opening the book. That's a testament to how great the film is and to how talented and insightful Kate is as an artist. Pat Benatar's version is great - it stands on its own but is also an outstanding tribute to the original... love it.
