Subject: RE: This song was given to me by (whoever)
Jim - you could follow in Rod Shearman's footsteps and try sueing her.... Rod sued Enya for 'Sail away', which is surprisingly similar to a song he wrote and sang publicly in places she frequented and so could have heard it.

He lost of course, she said it was a complete accident that the words and the tune were almost identical. But then, she was an attractive, international recording artist with pots of money and he was an old sailor with nothing but talent and the truth to sustain him.
