I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?

When you say goodbye, I am what you need to tie.
I come as a couple and go wherever you run.
Who am I?

Take one out and scratch my head, I am now black but once was red. What am I?

I was born in a small house and I live in it all alone. No windows and no doors have been assigned to my house. The only way I can go out is by breaking through the walls of my house.

Who am I?

Your mother’s brother’s only brother-in-law is asleep on your couch. Who is asleep on your couch?

I am not a bull but I have horns.
I am not an ass but I have a pack saddle.
Wherever I go, I leave silver behind me.

Who am I?

You measure my life in hours
I serve you by expiring
I vanish faster when I am thin
and slower when I am thick
The wind is my energy
What am I?

Until it is measured, not known. Yet how you miss it when it has gone. What is it?

When you stop to look, you can always see me. But if you try to touch me, you can never feel me. Although you walk towards me, I remain the same distance from you. What am I?

I am 5 letters long.
My first two tell you who I am
My first 3 could be a medicine
My last three reversed could be a young boy.
My 4th, 3rd and 2nd in that order could be a fruit drink.
If you have me you may hang me round your neck
WHAT AM I ?
