Well, the point of the column commands like \column or \center-column is 
to arrange text vertically, so each unquoted word, quoted string or 
markup piece in TEXT ends up on a line of its own.

Hence, you have to group everything that is supposed to go on one line 
into one markup object. In this case, writing \line { TEXT } instead of 
TEXT seems like the way to go.

By the way, your combination of \fill-line { "" ... "" }, \column and 
\center-column looks rather redundant.
