By any chance, were you attempting to do something like this?
%%%%
foo = \column { "abc" "def" "ghi" }
%%%%
If so, you'd probably see errors like:
error: unknown escaped string: `\column'
error: string outside of text script or \lyricmode
You need to use \markup when defining the variable:
%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
lyrA = \markup \column { "abc" "def" "ghi" }
lyrB = \markup \column { "jkl" "mno" "pqr" }
lyrAB = \markup \fill-line { \null \lyrA \lyrB \null }
\lyrAB \lyrAB
%%%%
