Initial position of Lyrics

[Thermo]

I have a piece that has 4 bars intro marked as rests, if I place some notes
in that, like the bass intro, instead of the rests the lyrics start being
aligned with those notes.

Is there a way of signalling when the lirics should start and stop.

Thanks
Graham

This is how I form it:
verseWords = \lyricmode {
        Verse one words
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \verseWords
--
