Please read about melismata at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/The-Lyrics-context.html#The-Lyrics-context
Of course, in this particular example, using \lyricsto is much more
troublesome than using explicit durations of each syllable of the
lyrics (and remove the \lyricsto), but when you have longer sections
of lyrics, it's mostly a big saving to use \lyricsto.
Some more comments:
- Did you see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2005-01/msg00038.html
you might find some useful ideas. Also,there have been several
recent discussions on lyrics on the mailing list.
- Why do you have several <<{...} \\ {...}>> directly following
eachother? Why not just write each voice separately and then
combining them with a single <<{...} \\ {...}>> or even better
to explicitly give more descriptive names to the two voices.
- If you read the section in the manual, refered above, you'll
notice that you can replace all your \skip 8 with a single one,
if you insert \melisma and \melismaEnd at the appropriate places
in the music.

So--if I understand this correctly--the number after \skip is still
required in \lyricsto but doesn't do anything.
Realted to this, I have an introduction to a song that has a pickup text
(discussed in an earlier post). The text useed to appear on the and of
four in m.3. I added phrase marks and staccati to the introduction and
now the text won't appear. Using \skip, there is a point where the text
disappears.
I am using 2.4.2 under cygwin:
