here is a way that seems to work (but there might be more convenient ways):

use 

\override Score.BarNumber #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -3)

and the following vertical distance settings - play around with the numbers:

\layout {
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing =
    #'((basic-distance . 5)
     (minimum-distance . 5)
     (padding . .75))
  }
}
