I've been listening to this song for over ten years and I only just noticed that in some live versions, David changes the words of his harmony part to 'I have seen the sign upon his precious skin'. Which changes the whoooole meaning of the song, from a single voice pining for the rapture, to one voice pining for the rapture and another voice pining right back from beyond the grave. It makes the weird chase-and-loop harmonies all the spookier.
