As a lyrist I can understand why you would gravitate to song lyrics but for me, it's just the opposite. I seldom listen to the words (and it drives my wife batty!) but the soundscape of a song can instantly change my mood.

Really good songs can exist as an instrumental piece or with a vocalist singing. Henry Mancini use to release both choral and instrumental versions. "Moon River" or "Dear One" are just as effective either way.
