Two hundred miles from turning back Two hundred from ever going home A man can be so easy lost When he's on the mountain road – oh Shiloh Is it only the temple that falls (x2) It's pain and then it's pain then is it pain And then its pain that never comes The only bridge I haven't burned is the one I'm standing on Oh Shiloh, do you hear the night bird call Cause the night bird calls My ghost in flames on the desert road Horizon to horizon oh woe I weep for it all and I weep for nothing at all Oh Shiloh, its not that falls It's not only the temple that falls
