Written by Bush when she was 18, the song is based on the novel of the same name. Kate Bush was inspired to write the song by the last ten minutes of the 1970 film version of Wuthering Heights. She then read the book and discovered that she shared her birthday (30 July) with Emily Brontë. Bush reportedly wrote the song, for her album The Kick Inside, within the space of just a few hours late at night.

“Heathcliff, it’s me, your Cathy, I’ve come home

I’m so cold, let me in your window”

I love the ground under his feet, and the air over his head, and everything he touches and every word he says. I love all his looks, and all his actions, and him.. entirely and altogether.

Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë

I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free… and laughing at injuries, not maddening under them.

Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë

If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and, if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the Universe would turn into a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it.

Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë

You said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!
