>> Stephen: AND NOW, PERFORMING A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT OF U2'S,
"WITH OR WITHOUT YOU," BONO.
>> ALL RIGHT, THIS IS NOT EXACTLY ROCK 'N' ROLL, BUT THIS
IS MY NEW BOOK, AND IF YOU LET ME JUST TELL YOU A STORY AS HOW
WE GOT TO THE SONG. THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
ARE YOU UP FOR THAT?
AND ALI, THE MISSES, MOVED INTO. IT WAS A ROUND TOWER.
I'M ABOUT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT.
HERE I GOES. THE WALLS OF THE MARTELLO TOWER
WERE MADE OF GRANITE AND SEVEN FEET THICK.
IT WAS A FORT CONTAINING THREE CIRCULAR ROOMS, TWO BATHROOMS,
AND A KITCHEN BUILT INTO THE WALLS.
THE LIVING ROOM WAS LIKE A GRANITE IGLOO WITH AN OPENING
ONTO A SOLID-STONE, WINDING STAIRCASE LEADING TO THE LOOKOUT
THAT WE SLEPT IN, WHERE WE BUILT A GLASS ROOM FROM WHICH WE COULD
LOOK OVER THE PROMENADE OF THE SEASIDE TOWN OF BRAY.
IX I COULD SAY WE LIVED IN THE LIGHT HOUSE.
ALI WILL LET HER SOUL BE SEARCHED... BUT ONLY IF YOU
ARRIVE AT HER FORT DEFENSELESS. HAVE YOU HALF A CHANCE AT
CHALLENGING HER OWN ALMOST UNBROACHABLE BATTLEMENTS.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY OVER THAT DRAWBRIDGE.
IT WASN'T TWO YEARS INTO OUR MARRIAGE, AND I COULD SEE ALI IN
PROLONGED MOMENTS RETURNING TO THE VAST SILENCE SHE HOLDS
INSIDE HERSELF. SHE WAS SUGGESTING THAT EVEN
WHEN I WAS HOME, I WASN'T HOME. OUR WEEKLY WALKS ALONG THE
PROMENADE COULD BE TINGED WITH MELANCHOLY.
THERE IS, ANYWAY, A KIND OF OFF-COLOR ROMANCE TO A DESERTED
SEASIDE TOWN IN THE WINTER, YOUR HEART'S OPERA SCORED BY THE
SOUND OF THE TIDE CRASHING OVER A STONY BEACH, SHUSHING
EVERYTHING AS THE WAVES TRY TO MAKE UP THEIR MIND WHETHER
THEY'RE LEAVING OR STAYING. LEAVING OR STAYING.
LEAVING OR STAYING. WHITE WAVES KISSING BLACK
STONES, SHUSHING ALL AROUND THEM.
SHHH... SHHH.
