I'm surprised that nobody answered exactly this question. If you name 
your main voice "1", then the upper voice of the <<{...} \\ {...} >> 
construct will stay the same Voice context as the single voice. Note, 
though that the <<{...} \\ {...} >> construct will add property settings 
equivalent to the \voiceOne command, so you have to explicitly insert a 
\oneVoice afterwards to revert to the default settings:

<<
\new Voice = "1" \relative c'' {
 c d e f | << { g f e d } \\ d1 >> \oneVoice c4 g c e c1  
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" {
 This goes with the top voice all the way and back a -- gain
}
>>
