Here it is! 100% correct, (I think)

First Verse:

So the wind the blows across your room,
         
Carry cheap perfume onto your dresser,
                                
It rained for jewelery and for credit cards,
(continue with )                
Two tickets to a film I don't remember,
                                
One day you'll kiss your rabbit's nose, pick up the phone,
     
To find I've been turned over,
                        
You grab that piece of gold,
     
Only to find that the smell has taken over,
                                       
And all the things you had,
                        
They aren't the same
                 
As what you hold
             
Second Verse:

Now I'm standin' in a room,
           
That's filled with older folks,
                       
They're pleading baby listen,
                     
And I scream as loud as anyone,
(continue with )
But when asked to make a point,
           
I tend to whisper
            
Now highways turn the tidal waves,
      
An' they're askin' me to export all of your insecurities,
                                           
But that wind that blows across your room,
           
It's gonna' set the sails,
(continue with )
And send me back to yooou, ooh,

Chorus

 Sometimes, when sailors are sailin', they,

 Think twice, about where they're anchorin'

 And I think, I could make better use,

 Of my time on land,

 I'll drink less,

 Cause Lord knows I could use a,

 Warm kiss, Instead of the call goodbye

 I'm writing the folks back home to tell them,

 Hey, Yeah I'm doin' allright

Bridge/Fast Part:

(, , , , , )= repeat once!

It's a shame what your father did,
                              
To your brothers head, he smashed it with the telephone
                                                  
Your mother got scared and locked the door,
                            
You were only four, but Lord, you remember it,
                                   
So now you're scared of love
                
I'm here to tell you love's not some fucking blood on the receiver
(continue with )                                          (, , , , , )  

Love is speaking in code
       
It's an inside joke, love is coming, home,
(continue with )

Repeat Chorus, (but a little faster)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah I'm doin' just fine,
                     
An' if she seems as lonely as me,
                      
Let her, sink,
          
Yeah I'm doin' alright,
                  
Yeah I'm doin' just fine,
                     
An' if she seems as lonely as me, let her,
           
Sink, you let her, sink, well let her!
