What Am I?

Ok, ok. It was a bed. :) I admit kind of confusing because many answers fit but only one was in mind. Here's an easier one...

What has roots that nobody sees,
is taller than a tree,
up, up it goes and yet never grows?

Now this is easy so no complaining you guys, lol. ;):D
 
It was the you can enter that 'keyed' me into the answer!

What does not live but can die?
 
Hmmm.... a fire dies out, the wind dies down, mail can wind up in the dead letter office, my car had a dead battery the other day, one can be dead as a doornail, and I'm dead serious that I'm making these guesses in the dead of the night. :D

(Surely there was a correct answer somewhere in there? I'm dead tired for trying!)

God was good... It happened right at the gas station in town and since I had just had the car serviced by Les Schwab the week earlier, they sent a guy over at no charge to see what the matter was... turned out it wasn't really the battery, just a cable that was loose. All OK now!

[MENTION=4376]handy[/MENTION]: Great! :) You got some good help there....

When my wife and I were in NY some months back, a garage guy fixed our car and he was too busy to give us the bill so said we didn't need to pay him...

Blessings.

But it was the battery! Well, at least for the riddle. :)
But how many answers does a guy need! All of your answers were good but battery was what I was looking for.

Glad to hear your problem was solved without much difficulty.
 
Ah, a battery! I figured if I threw enough idioms out there about dead things, I'd eventually hit an answer.

OK.. here is a very old riddle courtesy of Google. (It's not cheating to find a riddle on Google, just to find the answer...right?)

Four wings I have, which swiftly mount on high,
On sturdy pinions, yet I never fly;
And though my body often moves around,
Upon the self-same spot I'm always found,
And, like a mother, who breaks her infant's bread,
I chew for man before he can be fed.

Right.

Hmm. I have no immediate answer for this one, have to chew on it for a bit. I thought I had it but the last line precludes it.
 
I'll give a hint... they might have more or less wings... and they might "chew" things other than food for man.
