Okay, then how about what Mats said, since I don't understand it well  
enough to explain it any better.
"You may have to make sure that the same context survives.
If you do, say,
\new Staff { \new Voice = AAA {c d e f } \new Voice = BBB {g a b c }
  \context Voice = AAA { c1 }
}
the two "AAA" Voices will not be the same context, since the
first one dies after the f. Therefore, any lyrics associated with
the first measure will not continue to be associated with the
third measure."
