One of the clever aspects of Marillions songwriting is the smooth ways they throw in key changes and interesting time signatures without being obvious or awkward. For a proggy type band they make the songs sound simpler than they often are. Having a song lift by a tone later in the tune is a common technique but it is rarely so subtle.

Then it’s the instrumental verse and chorus in Bm and D; so far, so good.
Then it has that clever invisible modulation to C# minor (which is achieved by the fact that the guitar solo in Bm started so strongly on that ii of B (the C#) anyway, so we’re already primed for it and don’t notice the key change)
Then yes, the 2nd chorus “should” be E, but they return to the original key of D, which is why it’s so difficult to sing that Kayleigh note accurately if you haven’t clocked the earlier key change!

Easter was another killer solo
