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
