Quintessence
(Johan Bengtsson)
I can feel it in the hunger of your lips
I can feel it in the touch of fingertips
I can feel it in the softness of your skin
I can feel it where my fantasies begin
I can feel it in the way you take my hand
I can feel it when you say you understand
I can feel it in the kindness of your soul
I can feel it when you leave, you leave a hole
I can see it even though I’m nearly blind
I can feel it, yes I feel what’s on your mind
I can smell it, the scent of dark, brown hair
I can feel it in the way you say you care
I can hear it, your heart beats in your breast
I can feel it when I’m leaning on your chest
I can taste it on the tip of your tounge
I can feel it in the songs that you sang
I can touch it, I can take it in my hand
I can feel it, let it pour through me like sand
I can feel it in the silence that we keep
I can feel it when you’ve almost gone asleep
I can feel it, it grows stronger every day
I can feel it all the time you are away
I can feel it in the way you’ve changed my life
I can touch it on the blade of the knife
Ah, the quintessence of everything
The happiness and the pleasure that you bring
The moment of silence before you see
The day you became a part of me
Ah, the quintessence of what we have
The quintessence of the sky above
The quintessence of your touch
The quintessence is enough
Ah, the quintessence of everything
The happiness and the pleasure that you bring
The moment of silence before you see
The day you became a part of me
On the extended version these two verses are added:
I can feel it when I long for you at night
I can feel it. the sweetest delight
I can feel it in the worries that you have
I can feel it in skies above
I can feel it when you’re travelling so far
I can feel it when you leave, you leave a scar
I can feel it in the distances between
I can feel it in the places we have been
