Verse 1 Seattle slips behind the stern at four, Emerald city fading in the rain. Carnival Miracle hums her low-down score, Spirit-class lady with a gold-rush name. Lido Deck’s already pourin’ rum and lime, Alchemy Bar mixin’ midnight into day. We’re northbound, baby, on borrowed time— Alaska’s waitin’ and she don’t play. Chorus Oh, Miracle, Miracle, rock me through the fjord, Tracy Arm or Endicott, ice calving like a chord. Balcony left side, glacier in my glass, Dawes and Sawyer singing as we pass. From Skagway gold to Juneau’s midnight light, Ketchikan totem and Victoria tonight— You’re a floating cabaret in a frozen hymn, Carnival Miracle, let the Last Frontier begin. Verse 2 Sea day rolls lazy, Serenity’s still, Adults-only hush while the kids hit Camp Ocean. Guy’s Burger Joint sizzlin’ up on the grill, BlueIguana salsa cuttin’ through the motion. RedFrog Pub’s got that island sway, Phantom Lounge masks and candelabra glow. Captain’s on the horn: “Fjord at first light”— Whole ship leans forward like it already knows. Verse 3 Granite walls three thousand feet of blue, Waterfalls like brushes on a cymbal crash. Harbor seals on icebergs, the glacier talks too, Thunder when she calves and the whole bay laughs. Skagway boardwalk, gold-rush ghosts in the dust, White Pass railway climbin’ like a horn solo. Juneau capital tucked in the rain and rust, Mendenhall’s breathin’ cold against the glow. Bridge Ketchikan creek and the totems stand tall, Creek Street houses leanin’ like they heard it all. Evening in Victoria, brief and polite, Buttermilk sky over the Empress light. Then southbound again through the Passage’s vein, Port-side balcony drinkin’ the view like champagne. Bacchus Dining Room pours another red, This ship’s a miracle—ain’t that what they said? Final Chorus / Outro Oh, Miracle, Miracle, rock me through the fjord, Ice in the whiskey, jazz in the chord. Seven nights of swing and a glacier’s low moan, Seattle to Seattle, but we never went home.
