Your code did the trick, thanks.

Well, I think that the time is a property of the song section that I'm defining in the variable, so it is more correct to define it in the variable itself. Furthermore, if the variable defines one (as in the example) or more measures that cointains a fixed number of beats, so the variable can't be used as part of another measure with a yet unknown time but just as a song section with a given time, it is more obvious to declare it in the variable definition since this section can't use a different time.
Of course, I won't do it if there are no time changes within the song: here the time is a song feature and will be declared in the song
section.
What you think about it?

I know you say you don't want to have the time signatures outside of the variables, but could you expand on why?
\version "2.18.0"
verse = { c2 c2 | c2 c2 | }
verseFirstEnd = { d2 d2 | }
verseSecondEnd = { c2 | }
\relative c'
