>  - \repeat unfold 64 { \skip 4 }

Thank you, Francisco. Typing \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 4 } is just fine
and it looks like it will work for my actual song as well.

Thanks to Phil holmes I now know why it does not matter what value I
write behind \skip in lyricmode. It alignes every time. However, some
value must be present, I cannot just write \repeat unfold 4 { \skip }

Here my updated example, Issue solved. This is a more elegant way to
use in long songs.

------------
\version "2.12.3"

melody = \relative g' {
   \time 2/4
   g g g g

   \repeat volta 2 { b b }
   \alternative { { b d } { b a } }
   \bar "||"

   g g g g
   \bar "|."
 }

lyricsformelody =
 \lyricmode {
   Part one is long.
   Part two re -- peats
   \skip 4 \skip 4
   Part three is long.
 }

lyricsforrepetition =
 \lyricmode {
   \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 4 }
   ly -- rics
   \skip 4 \skip 4
   dif -- fer.
 }

\score {
 <<
   \new Voice = "one" { \melody }
   \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { \lyricsformelody }
   \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { \lyricsforrepetition }
 >>
 \layout { }
}
