Kate Bush about this song:

The story in "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte had been bugging me for about a month. At the time I was recording the album, I began to get down my thoughts on Cathy and Heathcliff and their incredible relationship. I really enjoyed the energy between those two.
And really what sparked that off was a TV thing I saw as a young child. I just walked into the room and caught the end of the film where Cathy has actually died and she's coming back as a spirit across the moors to come and get Heathcliff again. And I am sure one of the reasons it stuck so heavily in my mind was because as a child I was called Cathy. It later changed to Kate. It was just a matter of exaggerating all my bad areas, because she's a really vile person, she's just so headstrong and passionate and... crazy, you know? And it was fun to do. (1980, Profiles In Rock)

When I first read Wuthering Heights I thought the story was so strong. This young girl in an era when the female role was so inferior and she was coming out with this passionate, heavy stuff. Great subject matter for a song. The idea of a relationship that even when one of them is dead, they will not leave the other one alone... I found that fascinating. I think love effects you in a funny way and I think everyone loves something or someone, so I think everyone understands at least on some level the experiences. (1978, Record Mirror)

It's funny, but I heard a radio programme about a woman who was writing a book in Old English, and she found she was using words she didn't know, but when she looked them up she found they were correct. A similar thing happened with "Wuthering Heights": I put lines in the song that I found in the book when I read it later.
There are a couple of synchronicities involved with the song. Emily Bronte had her birthday on the same day as me, July 30, and when she wrote the book she was in the terminal stages of consumption, and I had a bad cold when I wrote the song. Also, when I was in Canada I found out that Lindsay Kemp, my dance teacher, was in town, so I went to see him. When I came back I had this urge to switch on the TV - it was about one in the morning - because I knew the film of Wuthering Heights would be on. I came in at the moment Cathy was dying, so that's all I saw of the film. It was an amazing coincidence. (1979, KBC)

LYRICS

Out on the wiley, 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.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-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--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-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--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
