Comment #7 on issue 2462 by [email protected]: unnecessarily wide spacing caused by Lyrics
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2462

Why no example LilyPond input ?
It took a lot of trial-and-error to get a line-spacing that showed the problem.

\version "2.14"
\paper { #(set-paper-size "a5") ragged-right=##f }
<< \relative c'' \new Voice {a2.( b4) a8 g2..
    b2.( d,4) e8 g4. g4 b4 |\break
    r2. f4 d' c c b b1 R1*5 }
 \addlyrics { Oh, free -- dom!  Oh, free -- dom o -- ver
    me ti -- bi com -- mis -- sum, } >>

Probably the desired change, in my guessed example, would remove the hyphens in 'freedom' and 'commissum'. In general, it might be wise to try to keep the ideal spacing between note-columns based on the rhythm alone, rather than have lyrics and other bulky decorations influence the 'ideal' spacing (note-spacing.cc:107).
