    Song from lifetime movie "A Life Interrupted"
    Would appreciate knowing the artist and song played during the rape kit scene in "A Life Interrupted." The movie's music is credited to James Gelfand, and supposedly the song is "Hallelujah" by Patrick Watson but a cover by Jeff Buckley. My research indicates that is not the case. The song is a sad ballad and the lyrics mention the orchard or the orchard ground, and a wall hung with purple and gold.
    I have tried the band web site of Patrick Watson, with no success. Both band and composer are Canadian. I have also directed an inquiry to Lifetime Television Network .
    Thanks!

    I think the song you're looking for is called 'Corpus Christi Carol' sang by Jeff Buckley :-

    He bear her off, he bear her down
    He bear her into an orchard ground

    Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
    The falcon hath bourne my mate away

    And in this orchard there was a hold
    That was hanged with purple and gold
    And in that hold there was a bed
    And it was hanged with gold so red

    Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
    The falcon hath bourne my mate away

    And on this bed there lyeth a knight
    His wound is bleeding day and night
    By his bedside kneeleth a maid
    And she weepeth both night and day

    Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
    The falcon hath bourne my mate away

    By his bedside standeth a stone
    Corpus christi written thereon

    The song is Corpus Christi Carol but it is not the version by Jeff Buckley. According to a person on imdb.com, the artist is Patrick Watson. I can't find the movie version of the song available anywhere. The lyrics are mostly right, but the following is according to the close caption:

    Oo, Ah

    He bear him up, he bear him down
    He bear him into an orchard ground

    Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
    The falcon as borne my mate away

    In the orchard there was a hall
    That was hanged with purple and gold
    In that hall there was a bed
    It was hanged with cords so red

    Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
    The falcon has borne my mate away

    And in the bed there lyeth a knight
    His wounds bleeding day and night
    By the bedside there nealeth a maid
    And she weepeth both night and day

    Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
    The falcon has borne my mate away

    Oo, Ah, Oo, Oo, Oo
    Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo
